Yup, even with a ham radio, a cell phone, a citizens band. Perhaps if
you have an Ultralight it might not be such a bad idea... Or at least
make darned sure you leave behind a very clear map of where you are
going, do not deviate from that route, and a clear time where and when
you plan to return. Even members of the old Jeep Posse around Green
River/Moab had that rule... and those were locals that knew the area
very well--which is why the rule.
