As we headed north towards Idaho on I-15 we noticed a temple rising from the small community of Brigham City. Not remembering there being one there before, we pulled off the freeway and drove into the small little community. We fell in love with the community immediately. We so much more enjoy small communities to large ones.
As we drove towards the temple building, we found a beautiful little home for sale for only $137,000.00. We did not buy it, but oh how tempted we were.
We found the temple and saw that it was under construction.
As we walked around it, we learned that it will be completed in late 2012.
It is a beautiful building, kind of reminiscent of the Twin Falls and Salt Lake Temples.
Then, across the street from the temple we saw a beautiful building and it said it was open for tours.
So, we walked up and took a tour of this beautiful building. It was built in the late 1800's and has served a s a chapel for the church ever since. It's structure inside and out reminds us of the St. George Tabernacle and a smaller version on the inside of the Salt Lake Tabernacle.
We spent about an hour here. It is a peaceful little community!
Then we got on our horse and headed, once again, north. Along the freeway we saw this old cement building decorated with graffiti. Only in Utah would graffiti cover the walls welcoming home two missionaries and supporting our military troops.
Finally, after stopping for dinner in a small diner in Snowville, did we reach Idaho. We then drove on to Burley, ID, where we spent the night in Camp Wal-Mart. It was pleasant to be on the road again, exploring and seeing our country.
