Yes you can, I have the meeting point at the big staging area just south of the US 60. It's kinda nuts there but it's easier to group up there.

WILL E 525 Posted February 5, 2024 Please add me to the roster. Also, folks traveling from or past Gold Canyon should plan a little extra time because of the Renaissance festival. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like the festival opens at 10, so I am hoping traffic won't be too bad when some of us roll through the area. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
