About 30 miles from Liberty is the Far West temple site. Following our google map instructions we ended up taking gravel roads for about five miles, although this turned out simply to be the shortest way not the quickest way. Still we had plenty of opportunity to see the rolling prairie land. It is still mostly uninhabited with small farms and large tracts of grassland. Standing out there on the prairie was the temple site. A iron fence and flower beds surrounds the grounds and the four cornerstones, now encased in cement and covered by a plexiglass. JP said it looked lonely. And I could not help but wonder how this peaceful rolling prairie could have been the scene of so much disputation and violence. And to think that if there was a call to gather back, that it would be a pleasant place to camp.
JA fell down and hurt her hand while walking back to the car.
