Per UDOT Website:
"Ferry service is currently suspended for maintenance and should resume in May 2011."
I like your quote better though. I hope your source is right and UDOT's is a typo. That would make my life easier in April.
HITR run this spring?

Haha, I'll change my location back to Clearfield as soon as I get home.
I seem to remember reading from a RR4W newsletter that they weren't running it due to lack of interest on the part of both participants and AND volunteers, but I can't find the exact reference right now and am going off of a very lousy memory (at best). Perhaps somebody from RR4W can chime in to confirm or deny.
Doing due diligence research for the EU trip, I was at the SLC Library this week and came across a book called, "The Incredible Mission: The Hole-In-The-Rock Expedition/ San Juan Trail Guide" by Lamont Crabtree. I haven't had a chance to read through the text yet, but the pics and maps seem to focus on identifying physical remnants of the original trail where it deviates from the modern routes (published 1980). It looks like it might end up being a decent resource as well.

Let me know how it is, I'd like to add it to my wish list if its a good resource.
Will do, I'll post up a report about it on EU one way or the other once I'm done with it.

IMO considering the prices they charge it is well worth the extra 45 min or so to drive around. When I went last year the fare to ride the ferry would have added another 50% to my trip costs! JMHO.
It added about 1-1.5 hours on to my trip (in actual driving time). However, you have to wait for the ferry's schedule so in reality it probably would have been quicker (and lots cheaper) to just drive around. I won't use the ferry again if/when I run it again.

Well........I somewhat disregarded the speed limit most of the way to Hanksville.

I drove it and followed Caleb back. Its a timing issue with the ferry and if your pulling a trailer it costs you by the foot as well. The drive isnt too bad, I would drive it again.
