Traveling Home through Southern Utah

Curtis' great great grandparents came from Sweden on the island of Gotland. They settled Scipio, UT.  As we were raising our kids and we would drive up through Scipio we would always talk about the family history. We would have the kids pick up their feet in the car as we drove through Scipio...because it was hallowed ground to the Nielsons.  So Curtis and I stopped once again on our drive back home.  We walked the cemetery where so many of his relatives are buried.

Entrance to the Scipio Cemetery.

This is the old homestead. Getting quit dilapidated, but has a lot of stories to tell!

This was an Uncle Ernie's house...still standing...still has people living in it!

We decided to drive from Scipio over to Richfield and down. This is coming up to Big Rock Candy Mountain.  We had to stop and buy some of that "rock candy" so we could take it home to our grandkids! Especially to our "new rock collector" kids in the family!!!

This is beautiful Kanab sandstone. It was sitting next to the LDS church on main street there in Kanab.
