Thank you for the really nice birthday gift. I will enjoy sitting in it when the weather cools down a bit. It rained today so Tori and I sat on a towel. The glider has a nice cushion that I didn't want to get wet. I love you all.
September 6. Your dad and I were tired of hanging out in St. George, so we took a drive out to Kanab, Utah. This is a town where Jacob Hamblin took his family so he could work with the Hopi indians. We stopped at Pipe Spring which was a tithing ranch. The first settlers here were killed by the indians.
You can see the spring in between these two trees. This spring has been here for hundreds of years.
The pioneers came here in covered wagons and built this fort like structure. They called it Winsor castle. There are two ponds below the house which then flow out into the fields below. This area is now a historical spot and the Arizona Park Service take care of it. I was impressed to see that they really focused alot on the settlers who were the first mormons in the area. 1858-1863
