Poll: American Fork Canyon Trail Book?

[Stephen]

i am excited for your book. i will definetly get one. i grew up camping and wheeling up there with my granfauther and cousins. My grandfauther lived in one of the mining camps when he was little. When can i get one?

The first rough edition will be out in June. It will be a limited run, so keep you eyes out for that.

 

[Tacoma]

Is this the same meeting at Larry H Miller?

Yeah, it is. Last Thursday of every month, bring people!!! Join up!!

Grinding away... I'm setting a deadline for the rough, rough first edition... JUNE 1st

Pick me!!

 

[cruiseroutfit]

Pick me!!

You know it...

The idea is to have a working draft ready for "peer review" come June 1st. It likely won't be complete, but will have all of the trail data for review and a field check. The history stuff will be updated through each revision.

 

[Stephen]

History can't be revised! Sheesh

 

[Tacoma]

It can if... you're a public school textbook writer!!!

[DevinB]

Can I be a peer reviewer?! I can't wait for you to finish this book.

Professional

I would pay $20 to $30 for a Professionally done book with color photos. Along with the history of the current trails I would like to see a history of trails that have been closed in the area like Pittsburg Lake. I would like to see some comments in the book on what we could do as a four wheeling community to reopen trails in AF like Pittsburg Lake if it is even possible.

I can honestly say we are making progress. Steve and I have met a couple of times in the past month and have a few more interview and archives to visit. We've been compiling our info along the way, I feel we have enough for a "demo" book right now but I think we'll wait until we have an actual printed rough draft before anything hits the public. Thanks for the interest

Keep workin' on it! I'm excited for when it comes out! I've only lived in Utah for a few years so i haven't explored af canyon much besides forest lake/rock garden/a few biking trails. I haven't known where to start or go to see the history side of things but would love to! thanks for your hard work! I really hope it pays off!

I have a one inch think folder full of files. I'm not sure if Kurt is in much better shape.

ETA: The Future!

 

[cruiseroutfit]

LOL, ETA is later than sooner. I'm still working leads, interviewing old-timers, visiting sites, etc. I am making progress and I am scheduling some trips up there to work on the book this coming summer/fall. Life is busy

 

[phillippi]

I am still waiting as well. This will be very cool...

 

[Goose]

I would get one for the history alone, Ive been exploring & play in AF canyon since I was a young punk. And I would like to learn more of the history & the stories behind it.

Ive owned one of the early eddition, moab offroad trail guide books, (paper back)
& it has lasted about 13 or 14 yrs (but falling appart)
this year I bought a spiral bound with laminated cover, newer version & I really like it alot better.

I would be willing to proof read it for you but I will surely be buying a copy when you get done. -- looking forward to it eagerly
