After talking for 20 minutes or so, we found It was Paul Spencer on the line. He said that he would like to throw a bouquet to the Uintah County Jeep Possee for coming Into the Book Cliff area to help stranded deer hunters. His party was at the Hatch Ranch, and not In dire straights, but many other hunters above them were In sad condition. If It had not been for the some might still be there. (Other Jeep possees in the area were also kept busy night and day during the storm, and are also to be commended.) But anyway, Mr. Spencer says that Mr. Curtiss assumption that all the snowmobiles should be run off the mountain Is down right silly. True, there are a few bad apples who cause trouble, but there are also thousands of snow machines that are doing a great Job. They are the best things that ever come Into some areas. Not only are they for sport purposes, they are used by farmers, cattlemen, search and rescue, range management, water control, and many other purposes. We go along with his assurtlons.
