Paul:
IC where you show all the places that are on the way to Red Rock Campgrounds.
Could I ask your opinion on a few questions? Would like to make plans going and coming, as
far as stopping along the way to the event? Your opinion would be appreciated?
1) Should I plan to visit any places of interest before and after the gathering there at Red Rock? Not during the stay?
2) What of this place where the bad guys hung out in a safe place?
2a) Where is that?
2b) Is that worth going to see?
3) What or where would you visit for sure on this adventure?
4) Will there be day trips during the stay at Red Rock? If so where?
5) Are there any group events to expect during this stay at Red Rock?
Thank you for your help, Paul

Steve,
Thank you for your email. I am sure there are others that would like to know the same.
To answer your questions...
1) Should I plan to visit any places of interest before and after the gathering there at Red Rock? Not during the stay?
Yes, that is what the camp out is all about. During the stay I will be visiting Capitol Reef National Park. (see LINKS on our club page) Bryce Canyon is on the way home and it's along a Scenic Byway 12 that is wonderful to drive. (see LINKS on our club page) I placed the links on the club page so members could plan there own trips.
The Utah Salty Tear Drops club page at:

During the day, your time is your own. I will not be giving any tours. I may point at a map for members to find there destinations. But, I will be off to see the parks.
I am sure after everyone arrives on Friday, people may want to take tours together. But, that's up to the individuals.
Campers may come and go as they like. Some may like to visit with others in camp or show off there rigs... Some will leave camp early to see the sights... Some may like to sleep in...
2) What of this place where the bad guys hung out in a safe place?
There are many hikes and view in the area. Contact the Nat. Parks and Utah State Park for safe hikes and drives. Again (see LINKS on our club page) for phone numbers and info.
BTW: Some off road trails drop right off the mountain into deep canyons so check you maps!
There are maps that show Robbers Roost to be East of town. The map shows four Jeep roads into the Robbers Roost area. The last part is a short hike. If I am reading the map right. There maybe nothing there to see but a nice view. I don't know. But, I will go and check it out for myself. To my best knowledge no one has ever found Robbers Roost! That's why it was such a great Hide Out!
There are many ghost towns in Utah. Western movie sets too. Gun Smoke was filmed in Utah, Dodge City, KS is in Utah!
It still stands in Kane County. (see LINKS on our club page) Pic's at
2b) Is that worth going to see?
There maybe nothing there to see but a view out over the canyon. I don't know for sure. But, I will go and check it out for myself and hope you will too. Bring your camera!
3) What or where would you visit for sure on this adventure?
Well, that is up to you I guess... I like the Jeep'en and hiking trails the best. The Nat. Parks are always good to see. The state parks always hold something you have never seen before.
"Adventure?" you ask?
4) Will there be day trips during the stay at Red Rock? If so where?
No guided trips.
5) Are there any group events to expect during this stay at Red Rock?
YES! And still planning...
Saturday night there will be a Dutch Oven Pot luck. Don't miss it.
Each night there will be a camp fire and a Hot Dog or Marshmallow cooking, plus a camp fire chat.
I am giving a way two night camping at the event. Plus a few door prizes.
"I am still planning on playing the game... "Who Will Pick-Up the T@B!"
Were I will pay for two nights of camping at Robbers Roost to the
lucky winner!
Right now, it looks like the game has something to do with a Super
Soaker Squirt Gun and bags of play money from "The Big Bank Job" in
"Salty" Lake City."
End.
Steve,
As you know there are no registration fees... or membership fees to join the Utah Salty Tear Drops trailer club.
I am not rich and have not won the Lottery lately. But, I sure do like our little trailers.
I have worked hard and long hours putting this club and the events together for you and the members.
If there is anything you would like us to do, at this camp out, to make it truly wonderful. I am all ears...
I hope I have answered your questions. Let me know if I missed anything?
Thanks Again,
Best Regards,
Paul
