INVASION OF THE SAND RAILS


If you were wondering what people do here in Fillmore, we finally found out this afternoon. They come here from all over Utah with sand rails and ATV's to have fun on the many dirt tracks behind this campground. There are over 400 dirt trails in the area. This afternoon they all started arriving and getting set up to have some weekend fun in the dirt. They aren't supposed to make noise after 10 PM or before 7 AM and there are all sorts of other rules applying to the ATV's. It should be interesting as we are surrounded by them. It was fun watching them arrive, trucks towing a camper, which is  towing a another trailer with the ATV.   


Not much for us to do today, my humans went to the Historical Territorial Statehouse Museum and I got another dunking in the kitchen sink. After Kathe fixed my hair, I fixed it myself.

The city of Fillmore was Utah's first planned capitol. The Statehouse was constructed in 1851 and was supposed to be a three story building with several wings. Only one wing was competed before the Federal Government decided to move the capitol to Salt Lake City. One floor of the museum had portraits of the founders of Fillmore and their many wives. Now, that was interesting! One man had 8 wives and 38 children. Oh, there were other interesting artifacts and displays like tools, guns, and household items of the pioneers. They also spent  some time driving through the town where there are many buildings that date back to the early 1900's.
