Have fun on your trip. For emergency communications the other responders
have all provided good information.

Thank you all for the helpful advice. I cured my wife's worryies by
inviting her along. Now she's excited to go. I thought the area
would be just rabbit trails through open desert. Turns out the
largest part of my journey will take place on the historic "Pony
Express" trail. I didn't realize the Pony Express went through this
area of Utah! Essentially it is a 135 mile long dirt road, with
perhaps 1 or 2 ranching trucks passing through per day. Hopefully
we'll see the wild horses that are claimed to live out there.

I did find a very well done video describing the history of the area
and monuments:

Here's a simple HTML page with a few pictures from the BLM:

Thanks again, Eric.
