Our Visit To Cove Fort

We took Clara and George to Cedar City so George could see our foot doctor. (the trip for Uncle George was VERY successful, in fact he went back a week later for more treatments.) For years and years every time we drove past Cove Fort, Art has wanted to stop. I've always said, "No." We're either in a hurry, it's too hot, it's too cold, it's too late or early." On Friday, May 15 I could offer no excuses. It was early afternoon, we weren't in a hurry and the weather was perfect.

I expected Cove Fort to be hot, dry and dusty, and a difficult place to nagivate. Thanks to Aunt Clara, we have some great pictures to show that was not the case! There are about 30 full time missionary couples there, some are called full time to landscape, some to give tours, and I'm sure some are called to other responsibilite as well. They live in RVs close to Cove Fort, but those that stay for the winter live in the few apartments on site.

With picnic tables provided the tourist can even have a picnic right on the grounds.

After a lovely tour, we were ready to travel home. And now we ask, "How many priesthood holders, and how long does it take to get the keys OUT of a locked car?"

The answer to both questions is, "Indefinite." We probably should have called the Cove Fort mechanic sooner. We were on our way in seconds after he arrived with the proper tools.
