Trip to Utah- Cove Fort

Our first stop was to Cove Fort just off I-15 and I-70. This is the fort President Hinckley's grandfather built. The first picture is the front gate/door of the fort. The picture is not centered very well because the cute little old missionary took it.

These are the original doors to the fort. This is a tree that has been here the whole time the fort has been. The missionaries told us how old it was but I have since forgotten. I am guessing 100+ years. You can also see a little of the inside of the fort.

This is the cantraption they would put the horse and oxen in to shoe them.

This is a plow they used.

The kids in the barn by an old salt lick by their feet. Please notice Brandon's pose.

The pioneer kids would play this game. You try to keep the metal part of the wagon wheel going as long as you can by pushing it with the metal stick.

This is all of us in front of a covered wagon. Shortly after we got to the fort there was a huge dust storm which you can kind of see in some of the pictures. Then it started raining a little. By the time our tour was over my car was a muddy mess.

We had a fun time at cove fort and I am sure we will go back again some day to do it all over again.
