What kind of maps were you using?

All I know is the one time I was there, I came in on martinez canyon road from the west, but went down to the ovens from the east (down the hill), and at the bottom of the hill, if I recall, there were damaged, old looking posted signs and fencing. I thought these were from some point in the past, as there was a steady stream of SxS's/Atvs making the trip. When I left, I continued the "loop" back up to martinez canyon road, leaving to the west, and crossing some of the same fencing/signage.

Shortly after, there were PSAs on facebook about them being private property, supposedly at the request of the owner/caretaker. And then several stories of people be accosted by said person. Whoever it is has been doubling down on keeping people off the property. One of the ovens also collapsed a while back. Of course, that hasn't stopped anyone from going to them...
That said, I know of no one who has had any issues with the surrounding trails like martinez/Rincon/Cochran road.

I will note, however, that the last time I crossed the river to the east, near the old townsite, the gate (simple barbed wire, in this case) that is always open, was closed, and had wires in a way as to discourage opening it (below and above the upper, and lowest strands, respectively). This is probably a mile east of the ovens, and had been done in that previous week. I honestly never even knew there was one there. I rewired the gate properly, went through, and closed it behind me, and headed east.
I ask about this on Facebook pages, but got no real response. I put it off as ranch hands who didn't know better, but I haven't been back since to see.

The next time I’m talking with Sheriff Lamb, I’ll ask him if he has any additional info.

You know Mark Lamb?
I'm a big fan. He makes liberals cry...which means he's on the right track. Give him my thanks!

Made it out to Utah for the week. Staying out in Heber City. Went today to the Wasatch area. Snake creek trail. Was a little more snow than I was comfortable with to trek by myself but found a few good muddy trails. New tires worked like a champ. Did most of it in 2wd.

Someone's deer stand, I presume...

Nice photos DG. Went to Sheriffs Dept. today for training. Mark Lamb wasn’t there, but did ask one of the detectives about the Coke Ovens. He was aware that they were on public lands and wondered if one of our governmental agencies was possibly trying some type conservation program(?).

Wait a minute....he said they are on public land?
That kinda shoots down a narrative that's been around for some time.
