next stop...Scofield.

We also visited the graves of my great-grandparents in Scofield Utah! This was a big mining town. The cemetary was very interesting. Scofield is know for the largest mining accident killing over 200 people, leaving more women and children alone. Very cool to read and learn the history there.
This is a handmade headstone for my great-grandmother. They could not afford to buy one at the time of her death her husband made it for her. It is still sitting next to the new headstone at their grave.





As we were leaving Scofield, we passed a sign about an upcoming triathlon! Greg was in! He had his bike with him and was planning on doing some training anyway. The race was the day we were travelling home. I will put pictures in of the race later!
