June Reunion is coming closer



We got the deposit paid for the reunion June 18-20 and received the guidelines for using the Blue Mountain Site today. 

  If some of you wanted to sleep over Sunday night then go to church with us in Blanding, I think that would be fine.  It says only "sabbath day activities" on Sundays, so I assume that includes sleeping.
Other notices:  No firearms, fireworks or ATV's on the property.  (ATVs can cross through on their way to forest service lands.)  Must be left clean, everyone will need to help haul out garbage, and clean up the site before they leave.  No trespassing onto private property, as there are quite a few private cabins adjacent to the area.  If you haven't already posted, please indicate on your parents family name, if you're going to be able to come, or e-mail us  jwilcox42@gmail.com.
Here are the guidelines they send...not nearly as complicated or restrictive as getting permission from the BLM!

THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS

Policies and Guidelines

Family Proclamation 1995
"Families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness,
respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities."

In order to achieve the full purpose of the Blue Mountain Ranch, we ask that the following be followed:
1) LDS Church standards are observed at all times by all participants
a) Sunday use (Sabbath activities only)
b) Monday use (family home evening activities encouraged)
2) Cleanliness
a) Haul out and properly dispose all garbage
b) Make sure the lodge, cabins, shower and toilets are clean
c) Pick up all litter
d) Remove all food and personal items
e) No trash of any kind, including disposable diapers, is to be put into outside restrooms
f) All property is left clean and in appropriate condition for next use
3) Proper considerations
a) No trespassing on surrounding property (see attached map)
b) All fires confined to established areas, properly cared for and extinguished
properly when not attended
c) No firearms or fireworks are used on the property
d) All vehicles are confined to roadways and parking areas. Motorcycles and A.T.V/S should not be driven on the roadways within the boundaries of the Blue Mountain Ranch except as a means to get such vehicles onto public forest roads and trails
e) Damaged items or items needing attention should be reported to the on-site caretakers
f) Other groups may be using other parts of the ranch at the same time. Your cooperation and respect for them is necessary
g) No vegetation is to be cut, vandalized or destroyed

If you need to, consider Car Pooling...we got this from one of our Navajo friends this week.
