Directions:  At this time we have 20 cars signed up ready to go. With so many cars a decision was made to not meet at the I-80 Eastbound rest area. Recent visits at the Eastbound I-80 Echo Rest Area have proven there is too much traffic and not enough room to park 20 cars so we will all meet at the Coalville Phillips 66 Gas Station, Exit 162 on I-80. We can use the restrooms and get any drinks or snacks for the morning drive to Little America.
