The Uintah Mountain Club in Vernal, Utah, is a small
but active group, and it produces one of the best newsletters we
get to see. The April issue annouces that members Denise and Jon
Hughes will have a “yard sale, literally,” on May 5 at 2554 South
500 East. Bring a shovel and $2 per plant, and you can dig up
columbine, phlox, dusty miller, candy tuft and Shasta daisy. The
proceeds go to this 100-member nonprofit, which mixes recreation
with activism, including fights for Utah wilderness and against
salvage timber sales. Contact the Uintah Mountain Club, P.O. Box
782, Vernal, UT 84078.
