Invitation, August 30th, South Fork

Sam and Scott have stopped biking, hiking, and swearing long enough to put together their new book “Wild Rides and Wildflowers.” 

We invite you to join us for an “authors meet readers” evening celebrating its publication. A couple of readers will talk about their experience with the book. Then Sam and Scott will respond, perhaps read from the book, and hopefully demonstrate some of their best techniques for sailing over bike handlebars in the midst of mountainside chatter about love, death, and the meaning of life.  .

When:              Saturday August 30,  7:00 pm

Where:            A cabin up South Fork (10 min. from mouth of Provo Canyon)

The address is 6037 N. Shadyside Drive, Provo. Google and Mapquest can get you close (see Google map here), but it may be easiest to follow the instructions in the "Directions" post below.

An RSVP to Kif (augustine.kif@gmail.com) or Stirling (stirlingadams@gmail.com) would be nice to help in planning for the evening nibbles.

Directions

Directions to 6037 N. Shadyside Drive from the mouth of Provo Canyon:

1. From mouth of canyon, take Provo Canyon Road for 5.3 miles.

2. At Vivian Park, turn right onto South Fork Rd., proceed 2.2 miles.

3. Turn right onto Shadyside Dr. Follow paved loop to left for about 200 yards.

4. Park in “P” areas shown on map (we encourage car-pooling or biking).

 Landmarks:

- Shadyside Dr. (step 3) is .5 miles after South Fork Park.

- Shadyside Drive is marked by a street sign on the left side (E side) of S. Fork Rd.

- Shadyside Drive is the first street after the property with the “Go Away” sign on the right side of the S. Fork road.

The image below is helpful principally to show parking spots marked with “P” that are located below the driveway to the cabin.  Please try to park efficiently--relatively close to other cars. It's best to fill the parking lots down below the cabin first. If you arrive and it doesn't seem like there is room to park (there should be room for all), continue driving around the asphalt Shadyside loop road.  There is a flat meadow at the north end of the loop by the last cabin, and you can park on either side of the road there (including on the meadow). 

See the cabin marked on a Google map here.
