Southern Utah where?

[Utah Binger]

We are on Highway 89 12 miles east of Zion National Park

[ChocChipCookie]

I’ve passed your place many times over the past couple of years!

[Jim Robinson]

We’re planning on being there if you do.

[Utah Binger]

And you didn’t stop. You must have been afraid that Elsie might be here.

[Fiji Hill]

Could you provide more details? I might be able to come on Saturday.

[momtothree]

One of these days... I am going! I can only imagine what a great time you all have. Have fun! (I am hoping for perfect weather for all of you).

[phockthis]

I may be in St. George around that time.

I will try and make it there if I am.

Any additional details about the festivities would be appreciated.

What to bring or ???

[Utah Binger]

We will have a detailed description posted soon. Jim will be here on Saturday all day with Thunderbird Coffee in the morning and lunch at the historic property. We will have a dinner of country style pork ribs and chicken, dutch oven style. Corn on the cob if still available.

On Sunday morning we will have sunrise services in the headquarters building.

Spread the word!

[Elsie]

Mooooove right along now.

This is not far from a historical site of interest to conservatives. On the last day of his presidential campaign in 1964, Senator Barry Goldwater gave his final speech at the Kanab airport. Goldwater had a tradition of starting his campaign on the steps of the Yavapai County Courthouse in Prescott, Ariz., and concluding it in Fredonia, Ariz., jst over the line from Kanab.

In 2008, I talked with a librarian in Kanab who had attended Goldwater’s 1964 speech.

[Elsie]

Iff'n we're goin' to UTAH; we want better accomodations than THIS!!

[ChocChipCookie]

Maybe next time. :o)

[Utah Binger]

We are located on Highway 89 on the east side of Zion National Park. We will have lots of good coffee on Saturday and Sunday morning with a Dutch Oven approach for dinner Saturday night. We will have Sunrise services on Sunday morning with Jim. Just quiet talk and music. During the day on Saturday we will set up a shoot site on the back forty, Glock Rocks and Pete-R-Bilt will most likely set that up. We will do lunch at the historic site, Maynard Dixon Living History Museum.

[Pete-R-Bilt]

Should I be thinkin’ bacon or sausage?

[Utah Binger]

Wow! Both were great. I’ll leave that up to you. We just need to get a good group.

[Utah Binger]

Jim Robinson will be here. Woo Hoooo!!!! An now another tease from Zion National Park. Just twelve miles from here.
