We have gotten couple of requests for rides from SLC to Bryce from people coming in from out of state. Here is one from a guy from St. Louis who needs a ride and is flexible and is willing to throw in gas money but he can't afford to rent a car. He's looking for Wed- Sun but is flexible. He will have a backpack and a small refractor (4") as luggage so he doesn't need a lot of room. If you can help and have a seat in your car, van or truck you can make available please respond directly to him, his name Grant Martin, his e-mail and phone number are below. Unfortunately I won't have room otherwise I would. Please see below and thanks, hopefully someone can help him out. Bob
My name is Grant Martin and I am a member of the St Louis Astronomical
Society (SLAS). I would dearly love to attend the ALCON convention but I
am having trouble lining up transportation from Salt Lake city to Bryce
canyon and back.
I am on a very tight budget so a single car rental is out of the question.
Can you advise of any regular low cost round trip transportation options
to and from the event if they exist? I would also be more than willing to
pay reasonable fuel costs (and a bit extra) if I could catch a ride with a
club member who may be attending all days.
I have not registered with ALCON yet (they have not responded to my
questions and so I have missed the 17 June star-B-Que banquet registration
deadlines) nor have I purchased airline tickets yet so time is running
short.
Thank you very much in advance - Grant Martin
