Trip to Martin's Cove

 We drove out from Salt Lake to Martin's Cove to see where my dear Alice Walsh survived with her children. It was so hot that we had a difficult time picturing it in freezing ice and snow. We kept hoping a small passing cloud would cover us.





There was much complaining on the pull towards the cove. When we arrived at a group of seating, Paul sat them down and gave them the "why are we here" lecture. They were much better behaved afterwards.



Calvin even picked up a heavy rock that looked like obsidian and carried it back to the car. We visited the center and enjoyed the displays.



You can see Devil's Gate back there behind us. After this we drove to Independence Rock and the kids climbed up and down until they were tired. We camped at a nearby site with the missionaries.
