Roughing It






My Dad and Pam have some property located near Fruitland and boy do they have some big plans. My Dad has been working hard for the past few summers to get the land cleared and to get some basic improvements in. He's done about 90 percent of the work - which isn't bad for a 70-year-old man!
Next year, he plans to put up the shell of the cabin and then over the following years he'll finishing it off. Dad's been asking us for some time to come up and spend a few days at the property - we finally made the trip. Amazing. The land is so beautiful in its own way. The cedars, rolling hills and Tabiona mountains in the background create a surreal, serene environment. 
We really had a wonderful time. First we drove to the Vernal Temple to attend a session (have to get another white push pin in the map don't-cha know). Then we headed back to Fruitland for a day-and-a-half of camping, ATV riding, fishing and just plain lazing about. Thanks Dad. We love your vision of how this place is going to look and we know you are doing all of this to leave a legacy to your posterity. We promise you'll have a lot more help in the future.
