Taylor, Pulled this map off of our website. I have more detailed map if you like. Cedar Mountain Campground is an overlook for the Wedge. Is also worth considering, it is almost 2000ft Higher. Less visited by potential campground theives. http://www.slas.us/IMAGES/MAPS/WEDGECEDARMTN.jpg Erik

Taylor,

Yes, there is a general store about 30 miles from the overlook, I can't remember the name, you pass it on your way in. If you contact me off list I can send you a map, I think it is Cleveland, Utah. The road can be tricky, different problems for each route, ie: different kinds of road surfaces, dirt and gravel. Well graded but when wet some sections can be almost sheet ice slick.The Cleveland/Lloyd Dinosuar Quary has some nice dino skeletons, petrified dino tracks on the way. Recently improved visitor center. Castle Dale is further but has the local ranger office, we had an emergency out there one day. Non SLAS event. Erik Thanks to all who have responded so far to my questions about Utah

observing/camping sites. I welcome all responses and look forward to my trip in October. I looked at a climate summary that showed that it is typically fairly mild and dry in October. Hopefully that will be the case this year.

The wedge overlook sounds interesting. Is there any place fairly close by to get food and water? I can't carry very much on my motorcycle when it's loaded and would probably need to set up camp and leave my gear there in order to carry very much food or water back to camp.

Taylor
