Mineral Canyon and/or Tangrila in Utah

Has anyone been into Mineral Canyon lately? I'm thinking about going there this weekend and haven't heard any recent condition reports. There's nothing on shortfield either.

Also, how about Tangrila? I've tried to get a hold of Bud? Tangren with no luck. Has anyone been in there lately? The last I heard anything about it was back in the early part of the year.

Thanks!

I found a recent update on the conditions at Mineral Canyon on the Utah Backcountry Pilots website and it looks good. I'll be heading there this weekend with my wife for some camping. i'll post a report when I get back on shortfield.

Here is a little video we shot from our trip to Mineral Canyon this last weekend. And yes, I will clean my windshield next time.
