For those of you with smartphones, and in areas with cell reception, you might enjoy using the app called Glympse

https://www.glympse.com/get_glympse

you can use glympse to navigate to your destination, with turn by turn voice directions. And you can share your route with anyone you can text, even if they dont have the Glympse app themselves..

Then they can see you on a map, including your route, destination, and eta

there is also a group feature, that lets you see multiple people on the map. A useful group name could be !Solstice for example. Glympse puts ! in front of group names automatically.

I out. I think we are going to camp near Indian Creek in the needless district of Canyonlands Wednesday night and at lone mesa Thursday. If you were coming in a day earlier that would have been great. See you all on Friday.

It will all depend on how much time you want to spend playing at the sand dunes, and when carterzest wakes up..

I would say it would be easy to be to main camp around 12-1pm. It looks like it is around 45 miles or so between they geyser and lone mesa. If you REALLY wanted to get there in a hurry, you could just go back up to the freeway and head down the paved roads, but you will miss some cool stuff...

Roads like this one that is no road:

and photo opportunities like this:

and empty beautiful roads like this:

Oh and I forgot to mention, we are planning on cooking for you all Wednesday night if you camp out in my driveway! So a number of how many are coming would be nice Vegetarian lasagna with home made noodles and home made bread. If you wanted meat, too bad. You'll eat it and like it.

David let me know when you flight lands. If it's before those guys get in I can come get you for sure to save a taxi drive. If you get in later, Dustin was saying something about picking you up. We'll figure it out, it's a quick drive to the airport from my house anyway.

I think the plan is to go to price then south on 10. We will most likely take the short route, but 31 looks like a cool drive too. 9am is probably earlier than we will get going but I hope we will get out of SLC as early as possible. We will be at least 8 people so departure might take a bit, but we will have at least 5 vans so we will be hard to miss! I'll have a cb and a cell so you should pm contact phone numbers to Hans or me so we can meet up! If you want anything from Oregon let me know and I can probably grab it for you!
Cheers

This is what I was thinking of driving:
https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=2100+South+700+...m&z=12

There will be snow still on highway 31 but it gets plowed. Perhaps we will get lucky and it won't be plowed!! It's a 3 hour or so drive to the start of the dirt roads (401 to 332) from my house. Carterzest wants to have his photo taken at the Huntington power plant, so account for that too. Then I was thinking lunch somewhere along the dirt roads.
