Today we went to St. George and visited the Jacob Hamblin Home. Jacob Hamblin was a Mormon pioneer, Missionary, Explorer, Settler and Indian Peacemaker. He played a huge role in the settlement of the Utah Territory.He also had a passel of wives but that's how it was done back then. He had a beautiful home in St George with two of his wives, Rachel and Priscilla and it is their home that we visited today. We knew a lot about Jacob from all of our time here in Utah so when we met Elder Hunsaker at the home we had a lot of background information already. After a long chat with him he proceeed to take us on a tour of the home ....just the 3 of us....that lasted nearly 2 hours. It was a wonderful morning and we learned so much more about this incredible man.
Here is a picture of the Hamblin Home:
From there we went to Snow Canyon State Park....a red rock/white rock/ LAVA rock wonderland! Here are three pictures of a slot canyon that we hiked into today:
I had no idea that there were volcano's in this region. It was a great park....one of so many that Utah has to offer.
