After dinner we drove out to Clarkston a few miles away and visited the Martin Harris grave.
The grave marker
An inscription giving the details of his life.
A view of the cemetery from his grave
The amphitheater where they hold a pageant about his life.
The next morning we went to the Logan Temple.
It was raining so, while Virgil went for the car, we got pictures.. Marie and me.
Gary and me
When Virgil came with car, we went around and they posed by the tree where they got engaged 50 years ago. That evening our grandson, Brett, came to the Pugsleys and had dinner with us. The next morning we drove out to Park Valley. As we were driving around Snowville, we saw these zebras!

As we left the freeway and drove out into rural Box Elder County, we saw this bald eagle
Before we got to the town, we visited the cemetery where Virgil has many ancestors and his parents
We drove around and saw some of the original home sites that are now falling down
This is the old store that is now closed.

Grandma Hirschi's house. This is where I stayed 50 years ago when our family went to Park Valley for Virgil and Marie's reception

Back in Hyde Park that night we ate out at an incredible Mexican restaurant. After that we played Donner Dinner Party and had a great time. On Saturday we left after had a wonderful time!
