And isn't St. George beautiful?? My husband and I lived there going to college......Good Post.. I want to go visit there sometime, it's about 1 1/2 hr drive from me. I hear it is beautiful. I would like to see some of the historical sites, BY Winter Home & Ancestor Square, & Zion Park. I just gotta ask, did you see any of the "Lost Boys" during your years living there?

I was reading about the history of the Pine Valley Church:
" It was built in 1868 by shipbuilder Ebenezer Bryce. Bryce is perhaps best know for the homestead he established next to what is now Bryce Canyon National Park".
"Area pioneers wanted a permanent chapel and Bryce was the only person around with building experience. He applied unique techniques as he constructed the chapel, making it somewhat resemble the upside down hull of a ship. Techniques including wrapping the corners of the building with strips of green rawhide that tightened as they dried. When the church was finished, he said, "If a flood should come, it would float and if a wind came strong enough to blow it over, it would still never crash to pieces."
It must have been the Titanic version of churces built, back then!

Bloomington, I have another one for you, have you ever gone to The Merry Wives Cafe & Coffee Shop in Hildale, UT? If so, care to share? I have eaten there. It is decorated with old pictures of polygamous families and has polygamy murals painted on the walls. The employees are all women and girls; very friendly. There is a flat screen TV on the wall. The food is good, but not exceptional. It doesn't have to be since it is about the only place around there to eat. There is a gas station/ convenience store attached to it. Typical meal includes a sandwich with chips and a soda; nothing crazy. They do seem to have a sense of humor about it and one lady claimed that a potential name for the joint was "the 3 little plygs cafe."
