[climbon]

For those who are interested in a local NAXJA Utah chapter, respond to this thread with your name, E-mail and what city you live in. We are going to have our first meeting to get the chapter off the groung and moving. The date, place and time will be given soon. Thanks KeithNAXJA

[ACE]

Count me in. I don't know if I'd have a lot of time to devote to it but I would do what I could. About the only times I have to visit NAXJA is when I'm at work. :shhh:
I'm in Kaysville.

I'm not full of time, but would be interested in helping out in a supportive role. I don't even know where I'll be living in the next six months (hopefully sticking around, but I'll go whereever the new job takes me)

I'm like Marc, I'm interested in helping but don't have a lot of time at the moment. I've already been an organizer on the yearly Moab Fall Fling for the past several years and have established some relationships with a few local vendors.

We should plan a trail run, sometime in July (not the 11th weekend) and vote and get this thing going.

Keith I have PM'd ya.

[Tom R.]

Whenever we get this up and running, let's have an introduction 'cause I don't know all of the Utah folks. I've been MIA from the forums for awhile and have some catch-up work to do here.

Yeah, where ya been Tom?? Did you have to get away from the whole "Jeep Thing" for a while to maintain some sanity? I was over at Jeff's house this weekend and we had both mentioned that we hadn't heard much from you.

Oh yeah, I forgot my e-mail address above:

I'd like to be in charge of the money. :angel:

[Tom R.]

Been busy with work, going to school, and my first love: music. This leaves little time for Jeep stuff.

Tom

[climbon]

Very good, nice to see the interest. I know alot of us are limited in our time, but a supporting role is better than nothing. Let's start throwing out dates after the 23rd of July for a trail run and a"get to know you" type deal. I am willing to organize and push paper to send out info material. I would like to see this chapter complete by the 20 year XJ event in Moab. So who want to begin with a place and date for the next trail run. You can reach me at Keith@windriverdev.com I am out in Eagle mountain Thx

[Tom R.]

You folks proceed with this plan. I'll be gone for awhile and won't be back until mid September....it's a work thing. I just hope to have a somewhat workable/driveable Jeep for the Moab celebration. Know anyone who has a set of good condition RE1463 springs for sale? :D

[stp189]

Looks like fun. I think that a Bountiful Ridge run would be good for a first meet and greet/vote. It's right in the middle of the Utah county boys and the Weber county boys. I am going up there tomorrow to make sure everything is still there and accessable so I will let you know. But I am still up to going just about anywhere. Let me know what you think.

Has anyone been up Providence Canyon by Logan? I was told it is a good time and sence I am going to Logan this weekend for the 4th I wanted to try it out. I guess it goes up to Logan Peak.

Yeah, I suppose a new set of springs would be considered good condition. I can't check their ebay auctions from this computer, so I'll check that later. Thanks,

Hey, once you Utahianites get your act together and form the Beehive Chapter - I'd like to apply for dual citizenship.

Reasoning is simple - after NAC ground, the most offroad dirt I've collected under all of my XJ's has been inside your borders. Although I have friends and relatives in that green and rocky splotch just to the East of you - I take it across the line every chance I get.

Since 1987, as long as XJ's have filled up my garage and driveways, Utah slickrock and desert has been a nearly annual pilgrimage to Cisco, Bluff, Big Water, Panguitch, Sigurd, and all those "interesting" places in-between!

There even was this weird, out of body experience in a rental back in 1973 between SLC and Wendover. Maybe that's why I keep returning - the truth is out there!!! :D

Hope you're in operation by Fling-time!

Mike in NJ :patriot:

[utahxjer]

Dude, we have "green and rockies" here too! Not just desert and rocks! Have you ever been up American Fork Canyon? I remember the mountain views from Denver, and it was nothing compared to my backyard view! So next time you make it out here, let us know where ya wanna go!:party:

[Mike in NJ]

:D

No, no, no - you misunderstand - I was just trying to be nice when referring to those grizzled neighbors of yours. I'm well aware of the "green" and high side of Utah. Have had several enjoyable campsites in the Dixie, Fishlake, and Manti-la-Sal N.F.

American Forks - not yet. Always wanted to get to Mt. Timpanogos area though. Seemed like everytime I was in SLC, never had the time to do recon, and every time I drove in from the East, I got "distracted".

Nice place you guys have got yourself there.

And as far as Denver views go, give me the San Juans (and maybe the Maroon Bells) any old time for the good stuff that CO has to offer!

Mike in NJ :patriot:

[utahxjer]

I know I was just razzin ya! And my backyard is literally Mt. Timpanogos(I live at the foothills of it). Up American Fork Cyn, is the Timpanogos Cave hiking trail, and numerous outdoor activites.

[climbon]

Looks like there will be a trail run here soon, STP is putting it on. Look at un-official trail run for details. Good meeting ground for the NAXJA Utah chapter. I hope we can get more names and e-mails for participation. Later

[utahxjer]

I was reading somewhere here on the site, and I think you have to have atleast 10 members of NAXJA to start a Chapter?

[stp189]

That should be no problem. Didn't we have 11 XJ's on the AF ride?

utahxjer, I went to our warehouse yesterday and saw your rig. We'll have to try out Maxi's next time I come down.

Actually, I think it has to be ACTUAL members who have paid their membership dues?

I haven't joined yet. Have you utahxjer? I think I will have to look into that.

[David B]

I'm sorry for not piping in lately. July is the busiest month of the year for me. I will not be available for a trail run until August, unless it is next week (7/12). I'm willing to help with this in any capacity (as long as it is not prez... Not nearly enough time or comittment) Lets get it done before October! Once we get established and get real ambitious lets explore the possibilities of Wyoming. I was in the Medicine Bow forest South of Rawlins last week. There are many trails, some challenging, and the scenery is more beautiful than anything I've ever witnessed. Maybe a chapter run possibility next year.

[climbon]

This is why we need to get together and discuss all this in person. I think we have enough for members then a vote. We need to look over the rules and regulations and go from there. Hey David, are you going up on the Bountiful run?

[climbon]

I think we should set up are first meeting this weekend at the Bountiful ridge trail run. Any takers?

Very good, for those of you who would like to meet for a "get to know you " trip check out the Bountiful Ridge trail ride in the unofficial trail run thread by STP. This saturday the 19th

Let's not forget your local Jeeper dues, send me $30 and a picture of your rig and you're in;)............I'm gonna make Treasurer yet!

[David B]

I will not make it to the Bountiful run. I "get" to help with a Scout camp, yeah, I know!!! I will keep my eyes glued to this post though. You guys better not nominate me as prez!!!(Jeff, I see that imp of mischief on your face!) We need to plan another couple runs before Moab. I've got a great raffle prize for the next run.

[utahxjer]

I love these "so called" raffle prizes! I fell for it!:anon:

Yea, that ARB Locker has worked out great.

:D

[climbon]

Alright, July 19th @9:00AM in the K-mart parking lot will be the Bountiful ridge trail run. This will be a good starting point for discussion regarding a Utah NAXJA local chapter. For further information go to the Bountiful ridge trail run thread located in the un-official trail runs on this site. STP189 is putting on this run and it should be a good one. Let's get as many XJ's involved as possible. Hope to see you all there. Oh yea TJ's and ol CJ's are welcomed if they want. Thx Climbon

[EricT]

I'm looking for dual citizenship as well. Are temporary idahoans/permanent virginians welcome?

[Tom R.]

Sure. I'm a Virginian too, though I've lived in Utah for 8 ½ years now.

Tom

[EricT]

not sure if I can make it this weekend though
