Seriously, Im going on a hiking - camping trip with the FUlmore Scouts. Feel really honored to be asked to go along as one of the adult leaders. The trip will be touring the Grand Gulch area which Is located between the Mexican Hat Highway and Halls Crossing on Lake Powell. The canyon eventually dumps Into the San Juan River. R Is an antiquities gold mine with Indian ruins throughout the canyon. It Is, of course, a Wilderness Area protected and nothing can be removed, but It will be great Just to explore It. The Basketmakers were one group of Indians that lived in the canyon a long time ago. A person could spend years researching their history. Infact as far as real finds, a cave in Kanab and one In Grand Gulch contain more about the Basket-make- rs than any other area. These Indians were followed by Fuebloes and then others. There Is but one way In and out of the canyon and the walking distance Is about 50 miles. The group has a professional guide who will take pack horses for food and sleeping gear. A total of four nights will be spent In the canyon. This past week (and I'm still serious), 1 have been walking two to three miles each day.

According to the report, present plans call for none of the area to be classified as "wilderness area. But nonetheless, this Is an area that bears close watching. The small range we have here Is hardly large enough now to enjoy; we certainly never want It locked up only o those with back packs or money to hire a guide. We need more Jeep trails so the area we have can be used. According to the report, few cattle, at least immediately around Fillmore remain on Forest ground. We then should at least have access to It. We would like toseetheChalk Creek road finished, a Jeep trail Into the mouth of Pine Creek (first spring) which would not be major project, but would open a great recreational area close to town. Another such area that would just mean brushing out a good trail, would be from the Copleys spring around to Horse Flat and thence back to Chalk Creek road at the first bridge.

Demands for additional services have also incounty officials, services far more than have ever been enjoyed in Millard County, have, as funds became available, been provided. To make this all possible we have been most fortunate that the valuation of our county has increased every year Eince 19G3, ($13,400,000 in 1963 to nearly $20, 000, 000 in 1971). This accounts for the fact that services have been increased and extra costs absorbed without an increase in the county mill levy. Utilities, of course, have been the big factor in this increase in assessed valuation. Telephone installations and Brush Beryllium have added greatly to the valuation in the last few years. Many new homes have also played a part in Millard Countys growth. In submitting the financial report of the condition of Millard County for the year 1971, 1 call to your attention the fact that this county is, indeed, financially sound. It has been my privilege, throughout the years, to work with some of the outstanding citizens of our county. We should all be proud of the dedicated people who have so wisely managed the affairs of this growing region. 96 will make Its first performance tour of the Western chestra Forest Lands OUR: TOWN The Apple -- Anon was a mirror, Which untoEvehereverycharm When every pool In Edon proclaimed.
