Unfortunately, that is all I have to show what happened last week, on Tuesday, when my wife and I went up Big Cottonwood canyon to hike. The timing was perfect, or I would never have known this happened. The video clip is from the cook's drone; he cooks at the Silver Fork Lodge, owned by a member of the local Ferrari club. He and his friends met for an unscheduled drive, up over the Alpine Loop, up through Guardsman Pass and down into Big Cottonwood Canyon, where, as you can see, they pulled in for a lunch. Proceeding down the canyon to the Valley, they passed us going up. The first Testa Rossa was red with two guys in it. I pointed it out to my wife. She looked up too late. Suddenly a second old car went by, the black one, iirc; then a third flashed on by, the clone of the first. I started to pay attention. A yellow one came into view, followed by c. half a dozen in a row. At least one of them had a driver and passenger wearing old style helmets. That was when I finally noticed what they were: a little yellow rectangle with a splash of black inside it was placed above the radiator scoop of each car. Ferraris! I could hardly believe my eyes.
Later I went online looking for anything to explain the phenomenon of c. a dozen classic Ferraris gathered at that place at that moment. Nothing. I did find the Salt Lake Ferrari Club. But their schedule of events did not even approximate the time and place. Hmm!
So yesterday, my wife and I were back up the canyon to hike. It was fairly late and it was almost entirely dark when we got back to the car. I drove us up the canyon a bit further to ask the people in the Silver Fork Lodge if they knew anything about last week's Ferrari sighting. The cook happened to know and produced the video, and over half a dozen photographs of individual cars: which he "sent" to my email address; but upon arriving home, nada was in my Inbox. *sigh!*
But at least you can get a rather scrubby birdseye/drone view of the Ferraris arriving for lunch. The cook said, "Yeah, that was about 25 million dollars in Ferraris."
