Mitchell History Tour

Troy's cousin came down on Friday to visit the places that her and Troy's great-great grandfather had been, Their family were some of the original founders of Parowan. We had a lot of fun re-visiting these places. Thanks Marcie and James for coming down and spending time with us!

Long ago

Friday Troy came home from school and said there were some really neat things that he wanted to show me out at Parowan Gap. ( I couldn't imagine what he would want to show me, for we have been out there tons of times! When we want to go on a short bike ride we always make the Parowan Gap loop. ) But I am always game to go somewhere with him, so Marquel Troy and myself jumped into his pickup and went to see the new sights...


The first thing we came upon was this rock formation.. Now I have seen it before, but if you look really close it resembles that of an Indian Chief! That's Cool!!! :) After looking at this, Marquel and I stopped for a few more photos and then on to see ,more... We drove about 5 miles and then pulled off the side of the road. Here is what we found! I thought it was pretty cool. Dinosaur tracks that aren't under lock and key..
Well, that ended our night of exploring! It was tons of fun!
