The recent demolition derby in Preston
had some exciting moments for our residents. L.D. Larkins of Mink
Creek was a contestant. He was the winner of the Chain and Bang heat
and had a great time.
Mary and Ron Norris are pleased to
announce the marriage of Carli Gressman to Scott Duncan. Carli has
lived in Mink Creek with her grandparents ever since they moved here
several years ago. Scott is from Goudon, Scotland. The marriage
took place in the Millennium Falls Reception Center in Draper, UT,
with kilts and bagpipes adding to the Scottish flavor of the event.
The Duncans have gone to Disneyland for their honeymoon. They hope
to make their home in Cache Valley.
We have a new family in our village.
Heath and Kaci Avery purchased the home of Mark and Karen Arnout.
The Averys come to us from Franklin. They have five children:
Brayden, age 16, Liberty, 11, Jacob, 9, Grayson, 7 and Grady, 5.
They are enjoying the tree covered hillside near their new backyard.
Another family has returned to Mink
Creek. Robbie and Tanishia Greene and their little boy Derek have
moved into the Orvid and Marlene Christensen home on Capitol Hill. Robbie spent
some of his teenage years with grandma Marlene.
The Crane Cabin is humming. Linda
Shewmaker of Rupert, ID, and Sheryl May of Paul, ID, the Crane
sisters, are having a vacation and family get together with their
brother, Bruce Crane of Logan. He spoils these two “big” sisters
for a few days as they recall their growing up years in Mink Creek.
David Kolstad, formerly of Mink Creek,
took advantage of his travels for his job to stop by for a visit
while he was in the neighborhood. He reports that his and Mary's
family are doing well and enjoy their farm up in the Clearwater River
country. They have remodeled their home more to their liking and are
still in love with Idaho.
Over the weekend we had numerous
people using their GPS systems attempt to get to the Oneida Dam by
taking the “road” that goes up Ant Hollow, north of Highway 36.
Some were even pulling watercraft and such, all ready for a day on
the water. Imagine their consternation when the road not only had a
gate across it but soon disappeared in the brush and gullies a bit
beyond. There was no convenient turn-around provided. The road has been closed for years, no maintenance, and
weather and time has taken a toll. I doubt that a prairie schooner
would be able to navigate it now. It is only fit for ATVs and
horses. When told by our residents that it was no longer a road the
drivers were a little frustrated with the trusted GPS.
