Its a nice trip if your into using 4wd for exploring. Lots of Anasazi ruins. Just look along the ledges carefully and you will find them. Looking below them still yeilds lots of broken pottery and chips/shards (leave them there for others to enjoy please). I planned a trip there while I was still living in Virginia, based upon some artcles in 4WD & Sport Utility in late 1995. The articles were "The Ancient Ones of Comb Ridge", and others. Back when Phil Howell ran the rag and it was a family/exploration type magazine and not an extreme rag with the same crap as everyone else's rag geared for aftermarket advertisers (ok, off subject rant. But Phil was king of the editors in my book). The area is beautiful, full of history, and the wheeling is just rough enough and remote enough to keep your attention. I have encountered several miss informed left wing tree hungers who think because you rode in a Jeep that you must be there to destroy something. Usually after a discussion they find I want things protected just as much as they do. I just don't want to walk in to see 'em. Now as for you Yota types... Enjoy the trip! By the way, your write up on Grand Bench pushed me out there last weekend. Nice place to finally go visit. Another Phil Howell trip I had wanted to do since 1997.
