We are only two months away from this event, so I thought it was time to get the details up and posted! Made sure to mark your calendars and tell all of your friends that own any type of Mopar!
The date is Saturday, October 8th from 9am to 2pm (at the latest). Last year we had 52 vehicles participate and it was a blast (except for the little Park City incident). It would be fun if we could increase that number this year! The route is a total of 136 miles.
Here's the video from last years cruise to get everyone in the mood! ;D

This year we are meeting in the parking lot of Graybar at 2841 South 900 West, in Salt Lake City. This is an industrial area which will eliminate the problems of the group getting broken up as we did last year as we tried to leave the mall. Plus there shouldn't be much street traffic on a Saturday. From the meeting point to the freeway on ramp there isn't one signal nor stop sign. There is a Maverick just south at 900 W & 3300 south and a Flying J to the north at 900 W & 2100 S for those that want to fuel up or pick up some munchies just before you get to the meeting point.
Here's the map of the tentative route this year. I still need to drive it to make sure that there aren't any "surprises" we might run into as well as find a place for a group picture and a stop for lunch. I might be going for a Sunday drive soon!
Flier is being finalized and I'll need help getting them get put up. We will need someone with Admin access to send Emails out to everyone.
