Can tows be arranged at Nephi around 14-15 June?
Both Logan and Morgan County look like what we're looking for: A place for
us to fly and for our wives to hike in the mountains. Our original intent
was to go to Minden, but a shorter drive and the spactacular Wasach Range
would certainly satisfy me!
Who would we contact at Logan and Morgan?

There are four locations in Northern Utah that offer regular towing
operations:
- Heber City (Tuesday-Sunday)
- Morgan County
- Cedar Valley
- Logan
In my humble opinion, all are pretty spectacular venues, each with a
distinct character. For more information specifically on Morgan, you can
contact me directly using the webmaster link on my website at

There are also the planned events in Nephi starting June 30 and the first
week in August. More information at ssa.org on those.

Dan,
I'd highly recommend you consider including the Nephi OLC/Cross-Country Camp
in your itinerary ( June30-July 5) if your schedule can accommodate it. I've
flown most of the Utah sites (a lot, but not as much as the locals). Nephi
gets started earlier, has fewer technical aspects associated with getting up
and out and offers spectacular soaring. Last year's Nephi event was well
run, attracted a fun group of experienced and budding XC pilots, and had
unbelievable support from the local community. The airport is gorgeous,
well-maintained with a long and wide paved runway that is NOTAMed closed
during the soaring day for the event (there's no power traffic anyway).
They'll have a bunch of tow capacity at your disposal, ground support to
keep track of you, social events. It's a boatload of fun.
