Stansbury Island Camping
Thinking of heading out to Stansbury Island to do some camping & see the petroglyphs. Anybody know of any good campsites out there?
I'm also up for recommendations for other things to see out there.
Summit- I know you've been out there a time or two- any "must sees"?

I have no clue where the any of the rock art is, recall seeing some photos recently of them and they were not impressive at all. Most of the spots I hit up are on private property so I guess that makes me a poacher. The bugs out there can get so insanely horrible its something you will need to experience to understand. But with these cold spring they may not be out in full force as of yet... I can ask around if you want.
I would only be interested is camping out there during the summer when the Milky way is rocking on a clear night with a new moon. Getting some milky way reflections shots on the evaporation ponds out there has been on my hit list for a while now.
Here are some of my photos from Stansbury island, If you need to know where something is just post the link back to this thread and I will reply back with the cords. http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=stan...30%40N00&s=int

I would avoid camping on Stansbury Island when you can go east an hour or so and camp in a cave big enough to drive in ;)..
Tacoma Said - If Scott he asks you to go on a hike, ask careful questions like "Is it going to be on a trail?" "What are the chances it will kill me?" etc. Maybe "Will there be sack-biting ants along the way?"

Well, I can vouch that now is not a good time to visit. We made it out there and did do our camping, but the bugs were a bit crazy. They weren't terrible, but my head itches like crazy now. Bring bugspray if you go. I'd only recommend going from Nov-March. I'll post a TR later.
