EZ recovery run on JRP.  But who cares... Today I was interviewed by the Deseret News for an article titled, Utah has plenty of bars and more devils than hell. http://www.deseretnews.com/article/705370475/Utah-has-plenty-of-bars-and-more-devils-than-hell.html?pg=1   How cool is an article that mentions bars, devils, hell, Jesus, God, and nipples? And in the Des News no less.

Mark, I read that article on KSL.com today and saw your name. Very cool. I've always been interested in all the cool names throughout the state, especially in the southeast desert around Canyonlands and Moab.

Dale, If you click on "Survey Notes" in the Des News article, it will open a PDF. In the PDF on page 10 are more names.... Or if you look here http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnispublic/f?p=154:1:3530901177902198 you can search for yourself. There are some gems that didn't/ couldn't be 'printed.'

I will definitely check out those documents.

Oh, I forgot to mention one of my favorites. Cleopatra's Chair down in Canyonlands. My dad and I always use that as a reference point whenever we go exploring.
