Outta Boulder (Co), didn't take climbing gear with us on a spring break trip to Canyonlands, 1976. At a ranger hosted campfire talk, mentioned access limitations to him, he told us about Goblin Valley.

Neither he (nor we) were aware of recent new road in, he directed us to an old 4WD double-track near Wild Horse, through scrub & dunes. Blasted through in a Dodge Coronet 440, ranger at the station (what was then was a single-wide trailer) couldn't believe we made it in on the 'old' road.

Was #86 on original visitor log. Saw maybe six other people there all week. Hooked. Following year, played capture the flag through the hoodoos with kids from BYU, who it turned out were on the same Purple Microdot LSD as we were. Good times . . .
