Seely donated his time. The Church Mine provided Cox, Fred Van Buren, a compressor and jackhammer, a bulldozer, and all the dynamite needed to build the road. Seely didn't bother with formal surveying equipment. He simply eyeballed the route of the dugway and marked the route with ribbon. It took 2 tons of dynamite to get the road built and it took us about a month to complete the job.
Locals still use the road as a cattle trail.
Since the church sold the mine to Utah Power and Light, the company no longer had a need for the water line, so it discontinued maintaining the road for vehicle use. Longtime Emery County resident Tracy Jeffs enjoys being top of the Wasatch Plateau, either on the Skyline Drive, South Tent Mountain or East Mountain.
