mill fork cemetery, Utah


mill fork cemetery, Utah

We are driving down highway 6 towards Moab, UT and did a U turn when we passed this little dinky cemetery. Turns out its the family plot for about 5 families, all no doubt related (this is Utah afterall) stretching back into the early 1800's. There are a lot of children buried here and even a plot for a group of travelers that were killed in an 'Indian Massacre' in the mid 1800's.

This was one of my fav parts....not sure if you can read the sign, but right above the seat is a sign that says 'caution - rattle snake area'. Made me think twice about sitting there....oh what a sense of humor those Mormons have.
