Alright, I just got off the phone with Rod Tangren, owner Caveman Ranch/Tangri-la(UT68). He would like to host a spring fly-in at the ranch. Some of you guys have expressed an interest in having a spring Utah fly-in, so maybe this will make a nice package.
This is a great spot, exc. dirt strip with a lot of backcountry strips nearby, and some incredible scenery if you haven't been there before. 100LL is available at Canyonlands airport, which is about 20mi. away. It is also adjoining the Colorado river, incase you would like to take a dip.
We picked the dates to be April 30-May 2, with the following weekend being the alternate if necessary. We picked this time with the idea that if spring winds are an issue, hopefully by then, they will have subsided. Much later than that, it gets pretty hot there. If you want to show up early, and/or stay later, no problem.
Rod is planning on having bathrooms and showers operational by then. He will have water and ice available. He will have the kitchen in the lodge available if you want to use his stuff for b'fast. Also has BBQ grills for cooking in the evenings
He will do a steak dinner one night(possably more)if anyone is interested. I would cook a group b'fast if enough would prefer that. He will have firewood for campfires. There are horse shoe pits, and a ball field. Pool/foosball table in the lodge. The lodge has plenty of tables and chairs and couches. It also has a nice outdoor patio for cooking and visiting in the evening.
He would like $10/night for tent camping. $30/night for a room. I think there are 3 bedrooms in the lodge, and another 9 private rooms that he is in the process of remodeling. Rooms would be available on a first come, first serve basis.
There is a release form that needs to be filled out in advance.
So, there ya go, anybody wanna come out and play
I'M in!
Cheers...Rob
