HOW TO FIND THE CRACKS AT VIRGIN, UTAH

The Cracks at Virgin, UT are a very intersting formation of limestone on the Hurricane Fault Line, and at one time was the bottom of a inland sea. The CRACKS are formed from earthquakes and movement along the fault line. Some of them are still very deep but most have been filled in from erosion and debris. To locate the CRACKS, follow SR 9 through Hurricane and LaVerkin. Go toward Virgin and when you come to the OLD SHEEP CORRAL turn right (south) past the corral to the very old paved road. Turn right then take the first left and go to a sandy intersection. Stay to the left and follow the road approximately 1 mile. When you come to a steep sandy down hill, STOP, unless you have a 4 wheel vehicle. You can walk from there and enjoy the beautiful interesting formations. HAVE FUN, BUT BE CAREFUL.

What good help for Garn to finally get his antenna up so he can talk to people world wide.
THANKS GUYS

HAPPY EASTER, BUNNY CAKES ARE READY

LOVE COUNTRY MUSIC

I am a great fan of COUNTRY MUSIC. The concert by Travis Tritt last night at Dixie College reaffirmed my love for the music. This Picture I took of him in 1990 when we were in Nashville. The following 5 pictures are ones that I took last night. In 20 years he has not changed, except that his hair is shorter.

In 2003 the Golden Girl's traveled to Nashville. We did everything there was to do, and saw everything there was to see. What a trip, I love these girls.

In 1990 Garn & I spent a week in Nashville at FAN FAIR. Was one of my most enjoyable vacations.

Tanya Tucker was in her prime. Her connection to St. George in the 70's gives us reason to love her.

Randy Travis is one of my all time favorites. I still have a Tshirt that I bought from his store in 1990 that says " I Have Been Digging Up Bones with Randy Travis"

However, ALAN JACKSON in my all time, all time favorite. This pictures was also taken in 1990 in Nashville. Did you know he is bald headed under that hat? Wouldn't know it with all the long curly blond hair.

This picture was also taken in 1990. Hank Thompson was being inducted into the Country Music Hall Of Fame in Nashville.
Wonder if I would like curly hair like that again.

This picture of Ricky Skaggs was taken in 2003 when I was in Nashville with the GIRLS. He was doing country music at that time but now he is more into bluegrass.

IT MUST BE SPRING!!! Two babies born this morning. I think we will name one Super Sweet and the other one Billy Bowl, got it Super Bowl Sunday. First Nebs came to see, then the whole herd stood on the hill to watch.

How well I remember ? years ago when you were born. We lived in a small trailer on Utah State Campus. You were always so full of energy and into everything. How proud we are of you and the wonderful family you have created. You were such a baby when you got married and look what it has turned into. Thank you for being the person you are. HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

 

THE HUNTINGTON ANIMAL FARM

This is the story of Garn and his animals.

This is Shadow a cat that showed up at our place about 5 years ago. So wild you couldn't get near her, and now she waits for Garn every morning and followes him everywhere. This is Mama Llama and her baby Smudge, in the back is Chocolate, who is still a little afraid of getting close, but still wants her share of the hay.
Chocolate won't get very close, but reaches for her food, while the sheep watch and wait for the Llama to drop the cube hay then they grab it.

Now comes NEBS, our newest addition. A VERY FAMOUS DONKEY. He came from our Branham family in Iowa where he has been in 4H shows, and pulled the wagon in many parades. But his bigest claim to fame is the live Nativity scenes where he gets to carry Mary to the stable. Our Daughter Ellen holds live Nativity programs at Christmas time in their big barn and people come from miles around to see them. In this picture Garn is calling "here Nebs, here Nebs" you can see him in the distance and the sheep and llamas are very curious and not very happy about him coming to their home.

As soon as Nebs gets close, the sheep and llamas take off on the run to the other side of the pasture.Then they slowely creep back

and watch as Garn makes friends with Nebs.

This is as close as they will get to him

Now Garn will "love on Nebs" and before long they will all be friends.

SO IT GOES AT THE HUNTINGTON ANIMAL FARM.
