May 15 - 16 Ronnie Millsap

On Friday night, Jan and I had tickets to see Ronnie Millsap at the Concert Hall in Wendover, NV. This was a great opportunity to go an a "longer" ride together without being overly long.

I got away early on Friday and by 3:00 we were on the road and heading west through the desert. By 5:00 pm we were checking in to the motel, we grabbed a snack and went to find out the hours on the buffet for the evening.

The concert didn't start until 8:00, so we just enjoyed the sun and walked about.

Ronnie did a fun concert and although I'm not a country music fan, I did know quite a few of the songs and Jan knew most all of them. We had a good time! The concert hall is a great place to enjoy a concert.

After the concert we enjoyed a great dinner at the buffet with prime rib and all kinds of seafood.

Saturday morning was a little cooler than it was riding out but still a fun ride back. We were back home by noon and then started the chores for the day.

Maybe we should have ridden more?

Eureka - Porters Place May 9th

Dave and Sharlene Paul lead the ride for us. We met at the Cracker Barrel in Springville and then took and back roads out and along the south end of Utah Lake to Eureka. After a break in Eureka and riding tour we headed south towards Jerico (Little Sahara) area and then cut over to Nephi. In Nephi we enjoyed another break and ice cream. The final leg took us up the west side of Mona Lake and Utah Lake and into Lehi for a late lunch at Porter's Place.

On our way to Eureka, we stopped to meet another rider in Elberta. Missed the other rider but while we waited, this young lady was having pictures taken for her upcoming wedding. Mark Brower loaned her his bike for some of the photos and she was pleased to use of the unexpected prop.
Finally, Porter's Place! We had a great time and enjoyed good food and conversation while we ate. We gave our fearless leaders a good natured ribbing for the scenic drive to the restaurant thanks to road construction and a confused sense of direction.
The weather turned out well and it was a fun, great day for a ride. Jan went a helped with the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory play, that the only thing that could have made the day better.
