There may be times when Kelly will not agree but you keep your eye on the road and have her shut hers.<br /><br />Possible(?) boondock on Sand Creeks Rd/FR146 just west of Torrey.<br />On the north side of UT-24 just west of the Capitol Reef border between mile markers 73 and 74 are two gorgeous spots. Look for the dirt entrances and watch for rocks. Each can hold about 5 rigs. The north side of UT-24 is National Forest in this area.edlfreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16859730659143852274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-46728990767708574712014-09-11T12:08:57.846-04:002014-09-11T12:08:57.846-04:00Your heart may be in the southwest, but your camer...Your heart may be in the southwest, but your camera lens is definitely capturing the beauty of late summer in Canada - great pics!

Again, very remote, so have everything you need with you. It's about 50 miles SW of Green River and it's a good 45 mins just to get IN the park from the road. Most people have never heard of it.DebbieMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14098946439067724168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-82910154764535236962014-09-11T11:08:32.027-04:002014-09-11T11:08:32.027-04:00Love the pictures of flowers and butterflies.

I think it is more likely they will leave some primitive sites alone, both for tenters and for RVers, but if they install utilities then I think they should charge a fee.Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052445200220681513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-12605974174030489392014-09-11T07:06:28.738-04:002014-09-11T07:06:28.738-04:00We too are just chompin at the bit waiting to hit ...We too are just chompin at the bit waiting to hit the road.

Some parts of it might look "scary" to you, but hike up your big boy pants and you'll be OK. :-) That drive is forever in our memory as some of the finest landscapes we have ever seen.
