Everyone else - consider these tenative plans.  Everything is subject to change.  I called Virg a week or so ago to offer some help with rides, and the current thinking seems to be as follows:

Nothing specific planned for Wednesday.

Thursday - Ride to Oakley for lunch, stop in Park City, return past East Canyon Lake.  Apx 140 miles.  I'll be leading this ride.  We will see some of the early railroad sites, as well as Donner Party Wagon route and Utah Pioneer wagon train routes.   Lunch in Oakley is in a restored 1930's (?) diner that used to be in New Jersey - one of only 6 or 7 still in use.  Kickstands up by 9:30, should be back in Ogden by 3:00.

Friday - Ride to Logan Canyon, Bear Lake and Monte Cristo.  A much longer ride, 250 miles (?).  Logan Canyon is one of better rides in the area.  Bear Lake was the site of several early mountain man rendevous (beaver trapping / pelt trading era).  Monte is a high mountain area that still has some snow (road just opened about 2 weeks ago).  Kickstands up by 9:00, should be back by 5:00.

Saturday - Ride to the Golden Spike site - where the Union Pacific and Centeral Pacific railroads met to complete the transcontenental railroad.  Also will see the rocket display at the plant where the Space Shuttle rocket motors were built.  Not as pretty as the other two rides, but great for the history buff.  There is a fee at the 
Golden Spike National Historical Site.

Dinner Saturday night at/near the dog pound in Ogden.

I was planning to go, but another thing, an opportunity I couldn't refuse, came up. My second in command at the ABATE rider ed. program and I are taking a 3 day certification class for a brand new MSF riding course, called the A.R.C. I can hardly wait until I get to find out exactly what I have gotten myself into. It's 3 days long, and supposedly pretty intense, so I'm taking my W-650 instead of the Drifter. From what I have bee3n able to glean from MSF, it has elements of the Military Sport Bike Course, as well as traffic problem solving....I'll let you all know what happens, and try to give a preview, 'cause you just can't know too much...or something like that...

My wife and I started late (we missed the first three or four).....but we have been to the Drift In in Fredricksburg Tx, Bardstown Kentucky, Prairie Du Chien Wisconsin, Eureka Springs Arkansas, North Carolina, (twice) and Durango Co last year. Ridden to all of them but because of the distance involved we are going to have to trailer to Utah this year. Hoping to see all of our old friends (and some new faces)....

I guess I missed the poll. I would have voted YES. I attended 2010 we had a great time with everyone there. The rides were AWESOME. Got to see some beautiful country. All signed up to do it again this year. Hope to see you there.

Actually most drift-ons have been closer to the east than the west.

Also there are gatherings at Daytona most years, plus other regional drifter things.

Stay tuned.

Very likely... I'll be doing some research for the Drift-In.org website and will include any of that info I can find. Still awaiting additional info from Virg on this.
