Anyway, I was delighted to come across a memoir that Knipmeyer wrote for the Entrada Institute that chronicles how he got so involved with Colorado Plateau history:http://www.entradainstitute.org/tales_from_torrey_intro.htm
At the heart of his story is none other than the tiny town in central Utah called Torrey. This is an absolute must-read for anyone who has been to Torrey and who has also fallen under her spell.
Pictures from our own trip to Torrey over Labor Day weekend are coming soon!

Your photography is wonderful! Looks like you have the photoshop skills too!
I just stumbled upon your blog and have looked through a number of your archived posts. Great stuff! I had to respond to this one because my in-laws have owned land in Torrey for decades and just retired and moved from Park City into a small cabin they just built down there. In fact, my wife's ancestors are a huge part of the history of Torrey and the Wayne County area (Pectols, Hickmans, Covingtons, etc.). Anyway, needless to say, we visit there often, numerous times a year, so this post and your next post about Torrey caught my interest in particular. I tried clicking that link to "Tales from Torrey" but that page no longer exists. Do you know where that story can be found? Curious to know what your connection is with Torrey. You stated in your following post that you spent many summers down that way in your youth and had a family cabin?
