In March we did a long week in S E Utah and one of the most enjoyable times was spent at 9 mile canyon. There is a private family run campground that also welcomes people to stay in a few cabins they have on site. The beauty is the place hasn't changed in generations if you can turn an eye away from the gas pipeline that's tapped into a reserve way back in the canyon. It's world famous for petroglyphs documented along the road winding back into the canyon. We hired the rancher/owner of the campground to spend the day with us touring the area. The artwork combined with the family's history and his stories of growing up working various ranches in that valley were remarkable. We did a lot of hiking, saw antelope, mule deer and stars so close you could touch them.
No electricity but water and sewer. Also did Arches and Bridges National Parks which were awesome but 9 mile canyon memories won't fade away for me. Oh yea....way off the grid. There are still telegraph poles standing when strung hard wire was the only way to communicate. This was also the last time I wrote a letter, enclosed a check for deposit and put a stamp on an envelope in a long time. Another almost forgotten act from years ago-
