All of the 1995 issues were recovered and provided by Robert Noll aka Sundance. He got some of those issues from his sidekick known as Trapdoor. Some photos have been substituted because the originals could not be found.

BECKWITH PLATEAU
“One’uh these days I;m gonna climb that plateau!:
For years, we have looked off to the north from Green River,
Utah, and said those words. Time was
running out. The Wilderness Bill
currently being proposed in Utah will close that entire area. (It also closes most everything around and
near Moab, most everything the Outlaw Trail crosses, and 6 million acres of
desert that cannot be accessed any other way than by vehicle due to the lack of
water and the climate. Write to your
senators today. Tell them to vote
“No!!!” on the Utah Wilderness Bill.)
Blue Moon, Miss Blue, and Trapdoor joined me at Smith’s
Cabin on Friday evening. The next
morning we drove to the little one-building town that calls itself
Woodside. From Woodside, the road
follows the Price River on an Easterly course toward the Green River. The canyon walls still hold the writings of
the Ancient Ones. In Places, landslides
have left huge boulders and tons of loose rock across the road. Internal bells and whistles scream, “RED
ALERT” as the truck leans far enough to the right to cause it to begin sliding
sideways toward the river hundreds of feet below.
