From our President
Observations at the fishing pond.
I recently went to our fishing pond to see what was
happening and to check on our newest 200 fish. I was quite surprised by what
I saw. Some of our fish have
grown to be quite large. I’d
say 3-4 pounds and up to
two feet long! It is tempting
to start giving names to some
of the fish. First off, thank you
to those who have
generously donated to
keep our pond viable. Those donations allowed us to add fish and purchase food.
Someone also donated some Zebco fishing reels for
your use. You’ll find them at the fire station entrance.
It’s what I also saw that took me aback: there were
fishermen using Powerbait along with treble hooks.
These are not allowed – only artificial lures and flies along with single barbless hooks. These rules are to keep our pond viable and healthy. Signs are
posted at the pond.
Please enjoy this unique amenity we have in Uintalands and also please inform your guests of the
fishing rules.
Git ‘r Done at the Work Party
Over 30 people volunteered!
We got a lot done at our June work party with a terrific turnout of over 30 people, young and old. And it only took us about 1-1/2 hours.
We collectively got weed eating done,bathrooms cleaned, and even got out the fire truck to ensure it’s working well, among other things. Thank you
to all who volunteered. Put the next work party on your calendar as there’ll be a potluck around lunchtime for all volunteers: Saturday August 30 at 9:00.
Meet at the UL fire station and bring a side to share.
New! Get a Cell Signal at
the Caretaker Cabin
You no longer have to drive down to Highway
150, or search for that “special” spot along
the way where you can get a good cell signal.
We now have a Uintalands guest network
available for you to use at the caretaker ‘s.
When you open up your phone Settings, you’ll
see “UL Guest” which you can join but please
remember:
-
No big downloads (bandwidth is limited)
-
30 minutes max
-
No porn or nefarious sites
Become a Board Member
Do you have an interest in seeing your
Association dues spent wisely? Perhaps you
have a talent or expertise. All you need is an
interest in Uintalands and have about 90
minutes a month, plus occasional side
assignments, to devote to making our
Association the best it can be.
We’ll be looking for volunteers next month to
declare their intent to run and candidates will
appear on the October ballot in time for our
November 12 annual meeting. Watch for
more info on the UL Facebook page.
Union Wireless to Install
Fiber Optic Cable
We’ve been notified by Union Wireless, out of
Evanston, that they will be resuming the
installation of fiber optic cable, allowing
faster internet speeds for those who sign up.
The work is likely to begin within Uintalands in
late July. We’re expecting road disruptions to
be short-lived and minimal while they do their
work. Not all roads will get the cabling and the
distance from their lines to your property will
determine eventual installation viability.
Prices are expected to be $45 to $65
depending on speed. All updates will be
posted to the “Latest News” section of our
Uintalands.com website.

Take a Hike Within Uintalands
We have a hiking trail for our members and guests that is 1.3 Miles long with an elevation gain of 49 Feet. Top to bottom or bottom to top, enjoy it year-round.
​
To begin at the lower (West) end, turn South at the
intersection of Uinta Drive and Aspen Circle on to Elk
Lane.
About ¼ mile down Elk Lane, you’ll want
to continue going straight. The trail head is noted by a
hiker symbol just a little bit further down that Elk Lane spur.
​
​
​
​
​
​
The trail ends (or begins, depending on
which way you start) about ½ mile down
Fir Lane, which is off of Pine Lane. That’s
right by our large water tank. You’ll see
the yellow diamond markers.
The speed limit is 20 mph or less
throughout all of Uintalands
Be safe. Please obey the speed limit and tell your guests too.
If you’re using a contractor . . .
please let them know that you’ll receive a $500 fine if they
use our dumpsters for their construction debris. All
contractors must haul away their own waste.
