OK! Here it is..... Oct 1-4. Hoping to secure huge camp spot on Cedar Mountain Rd in the Swell. A detailed hand drawn map to follow. I will post up signs to get you to the spot.
Open to vehicles 1989 and older and their owners who don't necessarily have to be relic but do need to appreciate the relic charm! No cell phones, no starlink etc....don't worry, we had so much fun before technology.
Thurs, Oct 1 - arrive at camp at leisure. Meet and greet, get to know each other. Maybe a run up the mountain for the view, and maybe the sunset. This will be a casual day.
Fri, Oct 2 - I am hoping to get us an appointment at O'ville in Cleveland. I would like to start our day there. Owen has set up an amazing collection of pioneer cabins from Emery County. He has so much knowledge and passion for the area, I think everyone will truly enjoy the experience. From there, we will visit a couple of pioneer cemeteries then head to the Wedge Overlook then down Buckhorn Wash where we'll visit some cool sites. Then back to camp.
Sat, Oct 3 - Head to Fuller Bottom and ford the river for an amazing loop run with stunning scenery. Then back to camp.
Sun, Oct 4 - leisurely morning at camp, hugs and goodbyes...time for everyone to head home.
Other notes....we will have the Red Ryder BB gun shoot out. Coms will be CB. I would really like to do a Dutch oven potluck but, we may be under fire restrictions, so no camp fires or charcoal.
Fun things at camp....bring your lawn darts, horse shoes, etc. Saturday is my birthday, so, we will be having a proper party with hats and cake!
There will be homework...do your research and bring a poster board with fun facts from the year of your vehicle, i.e. price of gas, current events, TV show, best movie, etc. Once I see who's registered and the year of the vehicles, I will do a mixed tape with the top songs from those years. Also, in the homework department, research the most popular food items from your vehicle's year for Saturday night's potluck.
I am really excited about hosting and leading this year's Relic Run! And celebrating my birthday with the relics.
Watch for registration to open, I don't have that power....looking forward to a super Groovy time!

Mine wont make it, but she did putter to the front yard for the week of the 4th. Maybe I’ll get some progress done this winter.
Do I have to upgrade my account here to go on the run or how does that work? I see a few links to https://expeditionutah.com/forum/index.php?account/upgrades
Do you see the RR upgrade?
I'm pretty sure you have to be a "Supporter" before the "RR/RR" option shows up. I am currently a Supporter, and the RR/RR (relic run/retro ramble) option is available for me.
Thanks I opened it up to all groups.
We took Jax out for a run today...she is chomping at the bit and ready for the Relic Run!

Wish I could join in, pretty sure my Willys (see pic to the left) counts as a relic. I sure do!
I mostly hang out on OldWillysForum .com and a few of us have a Fall Colors Run Oct. 3-6 in the Eastern Sierra, around Bridgeport, CA. It's open to pre '72 vehicles so if you happen to be in the area... should be a good time. I'll be watching here for next year's RR. Maybe drag a few other Old Willys out with me. Y'all have a dam good time!

Looking forward to this trip. Is there a map or details about the camp location?
