The Excitement of RAMMFEST07


Greetings Family,
Well, it's only a week and we'll be reunion-ing in Hanna. This is a really great place and you're sure to have lots of fun here. The more we think of it, the more 'fun-potential' there seems to be.
This is private property that Wheeler and Carole have allowed us to use. To keep it safe and nice, they have given us some official guidelines for using the facilities. (For added enjoyment, click on the Rammfest07 poster. It will open and you'll be able to read it all. Note the performing groups at the bottom)
  • NO PETS ALLOWED.
  • NO MOTORIZED VEHICLES, FIREWORKS OR FIREARMS
  • Tents are permitted on the grass areas.
  • Bunkhouse mattresses are not to be taken from that building and used in your tents, on the grass or decks.
  • There is no general access to the main house.
  • You MUST haul out your own garbage and dispose of it.
  • There is a fire ring so outdoor fire may be used there.
  • No water, drinks or food allowed in the Bunkhouse
  • You may use our flags or your own for any flag ceremony.
  • Sno Cone ice may be used as you think needed and necessary.
Each Person Should Bring:
Sleeping Bag, Pillow, Warm Jacket/Sweater, Hand - Bath Towel, Wash Cloth, Hat/Cap, Bugspray (mosquito), Sun Screen, Snacks/Goodies

There are NO showers available. If a person feels the need to shower, there is the river.
There IS HOT WATER in the wash basins and in the kitchen.

To get there from where you are, there are basically three routes into HANNA.

Route 1
  • From Heber City take US 4o (South) past Strawberry Reservoir, thru Fruitland.
  • Six miles past Fruitland turn left onto Route 208.
  • Follow 208 for 10 miles. 208 ends when it intersects Highway 35.
  • Turn Left. You will be traveling Northwest through Tabiona. About 5 miles from 208/35 junction you'll see a reduced speed limit sign of 35 mph.
  • On the right side of the road are some fuel or water tanks, on the left you will see Yellow Metal Buildings.
  • Drive into the property over a bridge that is across an irrigation canal. The Yellow Buildings is where you're headed.
Route 2 - this is shorter, mileage-wise, but it's over WOLF CREEK PASS, Highway 35. Being a mountain pass it kind of winds back and forth. Very scenic.
  • From Salt Lake via I-80 over Parleys and past the Park City turn off. East to Silver Creek Junction and go south toward Heber City.
  • At the turn off going to Kamas, take Utah 35 (you'll pass through Woodland and up the mountain) and follow it to the Tabiona Valley.
  • You'll drive right through Hanna and when you see the speed sign that lets you change from 35mph back to 55mph, you're there.
  • On your left are some large round water or fuel tanks, on the right are Yellow Metal Building. Drive into the property over a bridge that is across an irrigation canal.

Route 3 - From Denver
  • Take US 40 West to Duchesne, UT.
  • a) turn north on Utah 87 to Utah 35 W. Follow signs thru Tabiona and onwards to Hanna. Once you get to Utah 35, follow directions above
  • or b) continue on 40 to junction at 208 ( a little backtracking, but no turning off from US40)
