Howdy,


Most of you know I have a couple of different hobbies and there are times I like to combine events. On 4 October.. yes, conference weekend... there are two different events being held by the Utah Association of Geocachers (UTAG). I think it might be an awesome event for UTAG, Dutch Oven cooks, and the Trikke group!! I haven't really been given permission to invite my other hobbies... but I'm going to anyway. =0)


The first event is a Willow Parik CITO event. CITO stands for Cache In, Trash Out. It's a community service event where a lot of geocachers show up and clean up an area. UTAG does this about every month or two at different locations. On 4 October, we are all meeting at Willow Park in Lehi, UT to help clean up the park.


The second UTAG event is the Fall Bike Ride and Breakfast Along the JR Trail. This event will start with a Dutch Oven Breakfast and will be followed by a nice morning ride up the Jordan River Parkway.


A few of you have asked about having a Breakfast DOG in the past, and this seems to be a perfect occasion. And, I know some of the Trikke group might be interested in a ride along the Jordan River Parkway.. that's why they changed their name to Parkway-Sports ! =0)


CLEAN UP

For those that want to help clean up the park, they will start cleaning at 8:00am.


BREAKFAST DOG

Breakfast is to be served at 9:00. I will be there around 7:00 to 7:30 to set up and start cooking. There is the chance there will be many geocachers there to clean and / or ride the Jordan River trail and they will not be providing any food of their own food. A couple of us are planning to feed all those that show up. It's a great event that I don't mind supporting at all and I would love to see a lot of Black Pots filled with breakfast foods! I have been asked to make Biscuits and Gravy. I'm going to try 60 biscuits in a 12" DO!!


Jordan River Ride

This is where a third hobby of mine comes in. The Jordan River Parkway between Willow and 1100 North in Lehi is a pretty good ride an a Trikke. From 1100 North to Thanksgiving Point is a lot harder.. more hills. South of Willow Park is very smooth and flat. This might be a great event for the Trikke group. My kids will love riding their Trikkes on the parkway! Of course, bikes, roller blades, scooters, skate boards, roller skates, or those that want to walk are all welcome to join.


If you are interested in joining me for this event, will you please let me know so we can get a head count?
