West Point Class of 72

Go to the Hotel Reservations tab to make your hotel reservations NOW!

To insure availability of rooms to everyone, we have expanded the number of rooms we are guaranteeing from 40 rooms/night to 60 rooms/night. While we have the ability to potentially increase availability of more rooms if needed, we need everyone to make their reservations now!

Think - while August is traditionally a slower month, we still have 2 things that are challenging us:

• California Covid-19 Response: Many Californians have relocated to their second homes in Utah, so August, a normal slow time, is no longer that. Those homes have been removed from the rental market.
• Capacity: We face two years of events trying to book into 1 years room capacity.
• We Upped Our Committment: So I need your help to make sure we have adequate # of rooms for your classmates who are finally able to travel again.

NOTE: To keep the price of the Friday event at the Olympic Park affordable for all we have not included the cost of the banquet tent rental of $2,000 in the cost for the event.
Having learned from our experience in San Antonio that activity price may preclude some from choosing to attend, I would ask that 4 individuals or companies with the wherewithal to contribute $500 towards that item if you are able to do so.

Fly Fishing - Park City - Anyone? – (Thanks Tom Boswell for this add)
For anyone interested in doing some fly fishing, there are some great opportunities near Park City.  Tom Boswell has contacted Park City Flyfishing (https://www.parkcityflyfishing.com), a reputable guide service and fly shop. They do both wade fishing, and float fishing. The service provides all the gear including rods, reels, flies and waders. They will take anyone from beginner to experienced fly fisherman. Half days are $180 per person in a pair for a wade trip ($295 if you are alone) and $550 for a float trip for 2 people. Half day wade trips are 4 hours and scheduled to start at 6:30 AM and 11:30 AM.  The float trips are 6 hours and start at 7:30 and noon.The earlier times are best, due to competition on the river. Prices do not include customary gratuity, and Utah fishing license. Trips can be cancelled up to 48 hours.  50% refund within 48 hours and no refund for no shows.

Each fisherman will need to make his own reservation. Reservations are better made sooner rather than later, as guides get booked weeks, if not months ahead of time.  Let Park City Flyfishing know that you are with the Class of 72, and also let Tom Boswell know, so he can be a point of contact for this event. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Tom: cell 815-298-2427 or email at tbosw2683@aol.com.
