Simpson Springs - anywhere near the highway from Great Basin into Utah?

It's a ways north of "The Loneliest Road in America." Maybe 70 miles north of Delta, Utah.

Simpson Springs is 23 miles from the nearest paved road. The road along The Pony Express Trail is generally gravel and well maintained. If you stray off the main road onto one of the the many side-spurs, the roads can get a lot rougher.

Very observant. That's a S&W Model 686P .357 magnum w/7-shot cylinder; the other revolver is an H&R "22 Special" w/9-shot cylinder.(Exact model yet to be determined, H&R made a lot of them.)

I like the Smith and what appears to be a H&R .22 pistol. Looks like you handle them pretty well too.

Simpson Springs - anywhere near the highway from Great Basin into Utah?

Camping at Simpson Springs along the Pony Express Trail. This part of the trail travels through the vast west desert of Utah and into Nevada. The Pony Express used Simpson Springs as a way-station along the route. It was also the site of a Civilian Conservation Corps Camp established in the 1930's.





Spent a lot of time plinking cans with my son. Utah's west desert is primarily BLM land and open to the public, target shooting is a common activity out here.







We day-tripped out to Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge, a 10,000 acre oasis of lakes and marshland located in a remote corner of the Great Salt Lake desert. The waterways of the refuge are fed by five large fresh-water springs that emerge from the base of the mountain.

Nice pictures on this page!

Here's one of our favorite boondocking spots - one that we go to every October, for our last camping of the year. We park out in the open so that we can warm up during the day. This area is used as a snowmobile parking lot in the winter and camping spot all other times of the year.

These first three are of the camping spot.
