True, it’s not much to look at, but it worked great. Not only did it keep the rain out, but it seemed to have a sort of green-house effect that kept us quite warm, on an unusually cold day. The more we used it, the more we liked it. During the rainy seasons (If you can call it that) in Southern Utah the weather can fluctuate dramatically in minutes so this little tarp served as a protector against rain AND a canopy for shade.

I have a good friend that is constantly telling me to “Dare to be dumb” in reference to creativity… I think I’m starting to understand. Obviously no plans to mass market this little contraption, but we are defiantly going to add this to our preparedness list.

Recreational riding doesn’t have to be technical. There are plenty of places to ride ATV’s in Southern Utah that will get you out into the hills and back without any threat of getting lost. However, my last trip down into Arizona reminded of the importance of a good map. The Arizona Strip is still considered to be relatively undiscovered. Ranchers are responsible for most of the roads that exist out there today and having a good map is crucial to navigation. Growing up all our lives in Southern Utah, we still find ourselves checking the map to make sure we know where we are.

Here’s what they had to say:

Did a little ATVing with the family and found this area known as Devil’s Fire (had to hike in). It is a palm oasis along the edge of a large sandstone outcrop that has been sculpted by the wind into unbelievable shapes and forms. I have never seen anything like it, and can’t wait to take the rest of the family. There was no one else there and it didn’t appear there had been anyone at the site in a long time. I found it by following GPS coordinates and getting lucky.

It’s always fun to see the reaction of renters when they get out and explore the natural hidden wonders of Southern Utah’s surrounding areas. There is so much to see, and so many interesting sites that have little or no documentation. Sure Zion National Park is awesome, but there are also a few of these little gems waiting to be discovered.

We know from experience that there will be lots of fixes along the way (user testing is still in full swing). So… while using our site, if you have any compliments, questions, or concerns let us know by emailing feedback@allterrainrentals.com. The better the feedback, the better your experience will be the next time you visit.

If you miss your scheduled pick up time, the vehicle status becomes ‘available’ (first come first serve). We will do our best to get you out as quickly as possible. So please be on time.
