We still love the different landscapes and natural environments that surround the town. Moab has become even more crowded and built up than 4 yrs. ago, and many Moab locals come up here to get away from the crowds and the summer heat. After several years of drought, this past winter's snowfall, and the spring rains, have us at maximum water capacity. It is, still, always an adventure living in southeastern Utah.Mary Cokenourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15180741216552483451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459662516179620594.post-50003627634355433612023-05-19T15:23:22.793-06:002023-05-19T15:23:22.793-06:00Hi Mary,

My fiance and I have always loved Moab and the deserert, but Monticello seems to give that plus the added bonus of the mountains for skiing/snowboarding.

Any ruins we found, I made sure to put a mile markers on the Montezuma Canyon Road map which is on another blog post. As to ruins, we didn't find any in Coal Bed, but there's so much area we still have to explore.Mary Cokenourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15180741216552483451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459662516179620594.post-89632506589099548922023-03-30T12:05:41.899-06:002023-03-30T12:05:41.899-06:00Great pics and description.

Been looking up the ruin's stuff and coal bed is actually known for ruins but most has been washed away. How far were the "ruins area" from the Montezuma Canyon road? We hiked through when I was a kid (mid teens) and saw lots of "tells" and the rains had washed some out... My mom found turquoise beads still in a round shape like a bracelet in the corner of a washed out structure. Not supposed to take, but the next rain was going to take them all anyway and it was the late 1960's. I'm trying to figure out where I found a "citadel" at the junction/confluence of one of the side canyons in the mid 1970's (1976ish) and ran across your piece here. I'd just come out of the Marines and was still in that mindset so id'd a small hill at the confluence of one of the side canyons thought it would have made a good defensive site and found walls at the top. I'm trying to locate it again...

I called it the Citadel and found it after the Marines when I was still thinking and looking at everything sort of tactically. It has a view up the main canyon and the side canyon and on top were what looked like defensive walls and toward the bottom were two holes in a vertical sandstone wall where it looked like logs had been inserted to create a maybe woven roof at one point.

It was of a sign over a collapsed mine that read "Atomic Mine Co.", black lettering on a white backing painted on a rock. If you came in south from Monticello into the canyon, I believe it was twenty miles down the road, past the rancher's house but before the great, washed out riverbed. Just next to a bend in the road that was recently fortified and on the east side of the road. At the top of the canyon near that is a petroglyph of three alien figures. I have been looking in my photos for the sign and the aliens but don't have them..
