While we were in St. George for Tuacahn, we headed out to Santa Clara to see the Jacob Hamblin home. We started on the Indian Mission Trail but it was just too dang hot, so we gave up. Kudos to us for hiking…….100 yards.
We drove back into St. George and toured the Tabernacle and then over to the Brigham Young Winter home. We had an interesting tour and Mark talked “Texas” to a sister missionary from Austin. We learned lots about the home and the Cotton Mission. It’s amazing to me that those early pioneers were able to make a living in such a hot, dry climate. It’s beautiful, but it must have been a daunting experience.
We also did some thrift store shopping around town and scored some finds, did some swimming at the hotel pool, and had a great time!
