sent the seller a question about road access. (No answer yet, but I'll forward it when one comes.) Then I tried to check the site's location on a highway map. The closest I could come was the Gunnison Massacre site, which is close to the Sevier River and also near U.S. 6 & 50. That's a heavily used route, the main one from Nevada through central Utah, linking up with I-15. The country around is desert, complete with flies and and other bugs probably cattle. Many years ago my wife and I drove out to see the Gunnison site, which is next to the Sevier. Access to the massacre monument is by dirt road. Once we reached the little monument I wanted to see what lay beyond, so turned left, going a little further along a side dirt road. The route looked fine but actually it wasn't. The Sevier had flooded, water sitting on the land for a long time. Then the flood had receded, leaving the ground saturated. A dust storm had blown through, giving the road a nice, dry appearance. So Cory and I drove happily along until suddenly the car seemed to loose traction, slipping around ominously. I realized we were in trouble, with a slippery surface, and tried to get to a place where the road went onto higher ground. But Cory was worried and wanted us to stop, turn around, and get out of there. Of course, as soon as I stopped, the wheels started to burrow into the mud. Then it was one of those back-and-forth routines that only dug us in deeper. Eventually the axle was on the ground and we could not move. This was I think about six miles of seldom-used dirt road away from 6-50. We had no choice but to hike out. Almost instantly our shoes became basketballs of mud. We slogged back to the main dirt road by the monument, which was dry, and started down it toward the distant highway. I said we would need a bulldozer to get our car out of there as a tow truck probably couldn't get to it without bogging down. Maybe we'd have to wait months for the ground to harden. Our chance of finding anyone to help that day seemed nil, since this was a Sunday and people don't often go there anyway. Astonishingly, a big flatbed truck came rumbling down the road to the monument. I flagged it down and found that the driver was going back to retrieve a BULLDOZER!! that had become stuck in the mud the day before. He headed off to pull the 'dozer out with his flatbed. Then he drove over to the vicinity of our stuck car and used the bulldozer to scrape a new road through the mud up to the car. This fellow lay down in the mud, digging out our rear axle and hooking a chain around the axle. Then he started up the truck and pulled us out. The car was undamaged and we were able to go on our way. Just an odd little event at a nearby site. -- Joe
