Rockland - La Sal Junction, Utah - Families in Cave Dwellings

A community of maybe 6-12 families have built their homes into the side of a huge rock about 25-30 miles southwest of Moab, UT on a dirt road that leads to a place called the "Needles Overlook."

They have a sign that said "Visitors Welcome," so we checked it out. Robert Foster is the community patriarch and gave us a tour. He was a very nice man. This community is really living as a modern stone age family -Flintstones Style - but with all the modern conveniences. Was pretty memorable. [Roger Serzen, 08/10/2006]

[RA: Bob Foster is a polygamist who in 1980 began blasting a honeycombed home into this cliff face for his three wives and 38 children. He was convinced that it would be a safe place when the End Times arrived. For a while he operated a Bed and Breakfast in the caves -- Rockland Ranch Inn -- which may still be in business.]
