The Lewis & Clark Volunteers, a Mountain Men group based in Soda Springs, have held their annual Memorial Day Rendezvous spread out over some of the Vernon Keller farm on the shores of Mink Creek. The weather held good this year for them to enjoy their activities and target practice.
It was certainly a “Come Home” weekend in Mink Creek during the Memorial Day holiday. The chief meeting place was the cemetery, beautiful with flowers, decorations and pictures of those now resting there. A new bench has been installed at the top.
Two Crane families gathered for the holiday. All of the children of Keith and Ramona Crane were able to come along with their spouses. They had several days together at a local Air BnB, that just happens to be the former home of their uncle Basil and Molly Crane. RoZann now lives in Salt Lake City, Lisa is in St. George, UT. Dr. Gilbert is well known in the Burley, ID, area. Tracy calls Vernal, UT, home, and Kelly is in Laramie, WY. , connected with University of Wyoming. It has been a great time to share memories in a place well loved.
The children of Rex and Brucia Crane came together at the Crane House of Bruce and Shauna Crane with sisters Linda Shewmaker of Jerome and Sheryl May of Rupert and their husbands. It has been quite awhile for such a concentrated Crane assembly.
The Hansen House was full of Hansen family. Siblings: Pat and Dirk Bowles of Fairview, Wes and Heather Hansen of Ogden, UT, Sandra and Earl Kemp of Farmington, UT, Roxanne and Wes Beutler of Dayton. This group built a retreat on the farm where they grew up and it has been perfect for family gatherings.
Colleen Pearson Hawkes came home to the Pearson property with her daughter Melanie and Greg Evans of Lehi, UT. Colleen still lives in Kaysville. Her son, Chad and Denise Hawkes of Morgan, UT, joined the family group this year.
Warm days, cool nights, a perfect time of year for those who choose to live here. And those warm days, this year, are warmer than usual.
