Sorry Fred, was trying to keep it a secret (at least until Region 9
North this summer).

Logan, Utah home of Utah State University in Northern Utah about 80
miles north of Salt Lake City.

You can view the area and turnpoints on the WW TP Exchange by clicking
on the google maps link or the Google Earth link. The turnpoints were
just posted this week.

Logan is consistently on the safest small cities list (http://
http://www.articlesbase.com/real-est...es-84379.html).

Also best place to retire young (http://finance.yahoo.com/retirement/
article/102845/best-places-to-retire-young&.pf=retirement).

Great small town with SLC only an hour and a half away if you really
need to visit something bigger.

Search this group for "Ridge Running in Northern Utah" and you can
see the ridge potential. We don't bother to rig if you can't do 300K,
a good day is 500K and I expect to see a 1000K out of Logan in the
next two years. You can seach OLC for Logan and see many flights over
the last few years.

The airport is a former WWII base similar to Minden with three runways
(two active). Mountains are less than four miles from the airport,
yet many good fields to land in if needed. This summers contest will
be about a week after the peak of the season, but it should still be
very good. The conditions peak about the last week of July to first
week of August. We are north of the monsoon line so don't usually get
the OD of southern UT and Arizona.
