Also attending the event was Waldo Wilcox, former ow ner of the ranch. He said, I think it is a mistake to bring the news media in here. Theres no way they will be able to protect it. The Wilcox family has protected the ranch for 50 years. The property wras gated and trespassers werent welcome. The remoteness of the ranch and its inaccessibility does not lend itself to an occasional visit from a passerby. Currently access to the ranch can only be gained on foot or horseback I want them to keep it the way it was when I first came here. I am going to live in Green River for now and am maybe looking to buy a ranch in another state. My Dad taught us to take care of thing's and to leave things like we found them, said Wilcox. He said it was hard to leave the ranch and sell out, but he is now 74 years old and its time to move on. It was hard to leave, it is still hard to leave.

I hope people can still see it and still protect it. If they can come and look, thats great. Wilcox was questioned about the way of life of the Indians. He said they had a pretty rough life. When his grandfather was there and the Utes were living there. They would burn caterpillars and store them to eat during the winter. Wilcox said he believed the granaries on the property were also used to store the seed for the coming planting season as well as for food storage. Wilcox said in the time he spent living on the ranch he never dug up an Indian grave or disturbed anything. He said a lot of people have told him they buried treasures with their people, but he said the people here were so poor, he didnt think they did that because the dead were headed for the Happy Hunting Ground and the living people needed everything they had to sustain them in their ex- m '? - 1 .
