This is the Place

Years ago Brigham Young uttered those famous words "This is the right place" as he overlooked the Salt Lake Valley on Ensign Peak. Below you can see what Brigham Young one day envisioned as he looked across the valley.
Yet on the way to Salt Lake most of the saints who settled passed by another land, one today known as Cheyenne. I'm pretty sure that as Brigham Young passed Cheyenne he envisioned the future to look almost exactly as it is today and as shown by the picture below.

Yet here I am taking my family away from the Salt Lake Valley to a place that the saints once passed by and now I am declaring This is the place. Could "HIGH WINDS POSSIBLE" really be the place? You might be able to tell from the photos with this blog, but only time can tell ... only time can tell.
