Hot Rods Bonneville - any spare lodgings?

Just thought I'd ask.

Myself and Brad (Flatbrad) are heading over for Speedweek and trying to organise details. I was only able to confirm I was coming about 2 weeks ago and Brad just confirmed with me today, so we were not able to book accomodation earlier on.

Now I have half a plan to hire a van or RV and camp at the bend but I thought it might just be worth floating on here just in case someone needs to spread the cost of their room a little further.

If it makes it any more attractive for you, we are both salt virgins.

Btt for the Weeties eaters

 

I was too, and camping at the bend is where it's at.

 

My room is always available for showers to HAMB folks that I know and like.

 

Cool. I am more than happy to camp.

Denise....do you like me??

I heard there were a couple of places you can get a shower for a couple of bucks. Any truth? (just in case Denise doesn't like me)

 

I think the truck stop close to the bend and off of the Interstate has showers.

 

You can camp witgh the Vagabonds at the bend. I will be manning the grill all weekend.

 

Thanks Tman. I might just take you up on that. If you have a grill I can travel lighter

Yes, our crew will be well stocked.

 

We'll bring beer!!!

 

Don't be a grill hog! Unless of course you are cooking something I want to eat.....

 

I am only 300 miles from there, we will have lots of stuff. Plus I have local buddies comming in campers and trucks with trailers....

So I'm taking orders for what we need Trent.

 

Yes, you can always take a shower with the truckers if I end up not liking you.

 

Can I use your shower?

 

I usually travell with a full cook kit. If your guys have a larger grill for camp thats cool. I will bring the small one for lunch out on the salt.

More beer is always good, the swill they sell in Utah ****s. I buy mine in Wyoming on the trip over.

 

We will have a grill or two I think


I may bring one extra just in case

 

Serious? I am flying in to SLC so I won't have a lot of choice. Surely they sell decent beer somewhere.

Are you ****ting me?

 

Since I used yours turn around is fair play. Of course you can use mine.

 

I'm sure they sell just about every brand available in SLC.
So, fill me in, when do you arrive in SLC and are you renting a car?

 

Nope, Utah don't like drinkers and the alcohol content is less than normal store bought beer even though it is name brand..

Wells NV is only 50 or so miles from there so a road trip aint out of the question...



Thanks Denise...

 

Everything is low alcohol in Utah, kinda watery. Even the micros which strangly they import to South Dakota at full strength. Wasatch Brewery makes some good stuff.

Can I put in a request for some Victoria Bitter? Yummy

 

But the other side of Wendover is Nevada. Thats a party state. They've got to sell decent stuff at the grocery store on the west side of town right??

 

I bet they do, we never made it that far last time we were out there. I had food poisoning from Chinese with Buick59, Mikey tried to kill me, you can ask Bob how bad I looked. Hard to believe that was 8 years ago.

 

Denise.

Flying in to SLC on the evening of the 12th. Will be hiring a mini van in all likelihood and picking up some camping stuff on the 13th and heading across.

Straight to West Wendover to find good beer.
