All, I have contacted the Sleep Inn and they have agreed to a discounted rate of $75.65 per night. Their regular rate this time of year is $89.00 per night. If you plan to go and want to stay at the Sleep Inn, call 435-259-4655 to make your reservation. Make your reservation in your name, but give them my name "KIM HAGGIN" to get the special discounted rate. The rooms will fill up fast so if you are planning to go, you might want to make your reservation right away. Hope to see you all there! It's going to be two days of great riding in one of the most beautiful spots in Utah! Kim Haggin
