BLM considering restrictions on dispersed camping on fragile lands in Utah

..... And to think that during 1967-1971 I served in the AF in Utah - the DW and myself were backpackers, fisherpersons, hikers - and we NEVER visited the Southern or Central parts of Utah at all when it was really wide open and pristine. What a missed opportunity for the both of us. :(
However ... there is one way to still get away from the crowds if you have the right RV systems and can get used to the conditions: Boondock camp in the U.S. deserts in the summer.
Few folks can or will tolerate hot camping. We have done some rockhounding in the extreme heat - during which we had pristine places and their heat to ourselves. You don't experience many tour buses, ATVs, motorcycles, or hikers from around 95 degrees on up.
Our Onan generator, rooftop A/C, and great 12V fans are priceless. We also keep a light colored umbrella over our heads when outside looking!
