Show spend their summers. Women, children, and the elderly spent most of their time at the main camp and harvested the rich berry resources along the river beds, while men herded cattle and other stock on the nearby ranges. Today, it remains a popular place to camp especially during the fall season when Utes come to the area to hunt deer and elk as they migrate from their summer grazing areas to their winter ranges. The planned improvements on this site are seen to fit well with its traditional uses ( Appendix D. l). 2. v. E Sites of Spiritual Significance The area of Moon Lake does have some spiritual stories associated with it, as do regions further west along Rock Creek ( Appendix E. 3.1; Appendix E. 3.2), but the Lake Fork and Twin Pots were not reported to be associated with any particular spiritual values. Again, two of the consultants emphasized the need to inquire about these areas with Utes who remain in the region or who lived here in the past. 2. V. F Other Considerations None noted. 3. Uintah Basin Sites at Lower Elevations Unlike the proposed developments for watercourses along the canyons and high bench regions of the Uintas, consultants elicited very little concern about most of the lower elevation sites. 3. i East Cottonwood Reservoir and Ouray Park Feeder Pipeline The primary concern for this area was directed at the destruction of flora, surrounding Bullock and Cottonwood reservoirs. Otherwise, no objections were raised about the reservoir or the building of a pipeline. 3. L A Flora This area has important and valued stands of cottonwood ( Appendix A. 2.2) as well as patches of willow ( Appendix A. 2.6), tule ( Appendix A. 3.3), cattail ( Appendix A. 5.2), and wild garlic ( Appendix A. 3.11) whose disturbance should be avoided. 3. L B Fauna None were reported, although this is probably a good site to hunt waterfowl ( Appendix B. 5.2). 3. i. C Other Resources None mentioned. 3. i. D Sites of Social Significance None noted. 26 |
