Its a part of Utah history. Utah State University and the county have noted numerous times that if it wasnt for the late 1800s and 1950s mining that none of the roads would be out there and we would not have the knowledge of the sites or the glyphs in the swell. <BR/>Before you talk about what a waste these remnants are, consider that they are the history of the land. The same way the Indians left granaries and petroglyphs, this is the only thing that we have left for future generations to explore and examine.Corey Shumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303395714140581543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5953120750947919339.post-19249987374514591372009-03-18T06:40:00.000-06:002009-03-18T06:40:00.000-06:00I love all these photos.
