During Utah Education Association weekend, some 140 Scouts and leaders participated in the Roosevelt District Invitational Historic .Trails Camporee. The entire camporee was structured such, that participants could meet the requirements for the Historic Trails Award Program sponsored by the Boy Scouts of America. Participants came, not only from the Roosevelt district, but from the Duchesne, Vernal and Price districts. Lee Larsen, of the Price District Committee, was the sole participant from that District A prior commitment had been given by his troops to attend another camporee. Larsen's attendance was to gain input so that Price can attend the next camporee. H. Bert Johnson, Scoutmaster of My ton's Troop 253, started the camporee idea much by circumstance. Initially, Jenson was putting together an outing for his troop. The troop was to travel down Nine Mile Road. Jensen called the Utah State Historical Society and Bureau of Land Management offices in Vernal and Price.. These agencies were interested in the idea. Because of the great interest shown on the part of the BLM, Utah Historical Society, and others, Myton's troop determined to include the entire 15 troops of the Roosevelt District Even before this task was completed, the thought that every district in the Uintah Basin shares a part of this history making trail, had crossed Mr. Jenson's mind. Therefore, Duchesne and Vernal Districts were invited to attend. Price, the head of the trail, was invited, also. Thursday, Oct 3, a kick-o- ff meeting was held at Myton. Representatives were present from the Utah National Parks Council, Boy Scouts of America; the Ute Indian Tribe, BLM, 8take Presidency and the Roosevelt District Committee. Also sitting on the dias was Silver Beaver recipient Wilmer Murray, Myton. Speakers were Professor Edward A. Geary, Department of English, Brigham Young University. He delivered his paper entitled, Nine Mile, Utah's Forgotten Road." Local historian and retired attorney, also spoke. George E. Stewart Charles Roberts, Myton Ward music coordinator, Neil Roberts and Glenn Funk, Scouts, provided music. Jensen spoke last and addressed the group concerning the need to study and appreciate our past meeting, a Following the kick-of-f sack lunch wu eaten on the ehurch iinds. The mothers and Relief sty ladies of Myton donated time Marjorie Beal was in charge. After lunch, the convoy of vehicles left for the trail. George E. Stewart also traveled with the Scouts. Various tops were made at points at historical interest where Mr. Stewart lectured on the history and legends of the era 1888-192One highlight of the day was a visit by Lowell Cox, Lapoint, e who came along the trail in an freight wagon. The boys took turns tar rides. John Uresk, Myton, did forge welding at the head of Gate Canyon. Some Scouts tried their hands at the forge, while others manned the bellows. Further down the trail, Leon Fillingim, Myton, presented a horseshoeing demonstration. Camp was set the first night at in the length approximately mid-poiof Gate Canyon. A campfire was held at dark with speakers Marion Ross and Dr. Dan Dennis, both Roosevelt Friday, Oct 10, the Scouts went over slick rock,' past Bandits Point and the site of a rock arch which graced Gate Canyon years ago, but was destroyed due to fears of collapse onto the stages which once covered the trail. The group stopped at Nutter Ranch and foreman Jim Brown pointed out the old bar and telegraph relay house. KSL TV Channel 5 filmed at this print. They are also considering more coverage in the spring. Mr. Stewart continued his guided tour as the group made their way over the remainder of the trail All returned to the Neville Wimmer ranch in Nine Mile Canyon for Friday night's camp. Here Theodore Thomas, Pries, joined and shared experiences driving mail over that same route in some of the first trucks in the Basin during 1915-192Gloria Arrowgarp, of the Ute Indian Tribe, a teacher at Todd elementary, joined the campfire, along with members of a song and dance group made up of students. They performed native dances, involved the Scouts in them, and told legends of the Ute people. Saturday morning most troops left for home. The five or six troops who. remained traveled another area of Nine Mile Canyon to view cliff dwellings. Some items of interest were found along the trail including a brake to a stage coach, which was found by Brad Sorensen, Myton Troop 253, and a horseshoe was found by Delmer Hamblin, Scoutmaster of Roosevelt . Troop 700. Ronnie Lymon, Salt Lake, found a two-quaBall jar and lid. The jar waa old enough that the glass had turned blue, but a hole was popped old-tim- nt . rt into the side. He reinforced the broken edges with epoxy, built some saddle blocks and planted a small house plant inside. Ron Peatross, Bridgeland Troop 247, layed 'dubs' to an old dump scraper found in heavy sagebrush. Most of these articles found have been promised for future use and display in a Historic Trails Museum. Jenson is continuing with the trail idea and he is working with the Utah National Park Council to get a national Boy Scout Historical designation for Nine Mile Road. Eventually, the trail would be open for use by the general public. The BLM has committed to setting a part of the area for a Scout camp, where fire pits, restrooms, etc., could be constructed for permanent use. A belt buckle is being designed for those traveling the route. A national designation is given by the BSA, a medal will also be made available. A canteen wagon was along on the trail manned by Bruce Hardinger for the Myton troop committee, sponsors of the canteen. Anyone wishing to donate items to the trail museum can contact H. Bert Jenson, Box 883, Myton, or 646-814for improvements Donations are welcome and receiptable. 5.
