Our Southern Utah Trip




Over Labor Day weekend we went with a couple of friends to South Central Utah (Bicknell, Teasdale, Boulder Mtn). Trent's Great Great Grandparents lived down there as did his Great Grandparents and Grandmother. We stayed at a Ranch owned by one of Trent's friends. We rode horses, fished, had smores and sang campsongs by the fire with Jake accompanying on the guitar, and visited a lot of natural wonders. It was an awesome trip!


Trent's Great Grandfather designed and built this tabernacle. The roof was made tall so they could play basketball in there.





Trent's Great Grandfather also built this house over 100 years ago and his Grandmother (95 yrs old) grew up here.



As you come to the Ranch you pass by this old dinner bell and the mill stones from a very old mill just down the road.





Someone had to catch a fish. This came out of the Freemont River which is also known as the "Dirty Devil" after a rain storm because it turns red. Trent's Gma was baptised in the Dirty Devil when she was 8 yrs old and when she came out of the water her white clothes had turned red. (One of her favorite stories)
