FAR WEST, MISSOURI

From Liberty we drove north to Far West.  Nothing remains of the Saint’s stay in this area except for the cornerstones which were laid for the Far West Temple back in the 1830’s.  We took pictures and it was a beautiful day for our drive.  We also had to wait for the green shirts to move so we could take our pictures.

The cornerstones are protected under these cases of glass so it was hard to actually take a picture that didn’t have reflections

We had to stand directly over the cornerstone to see it through the reflections in the glass so these pictures didn’t turn out very well

It was wonderful to just stand on this ground and remember the important events that took place in this area and on this very spot.  So many important events and so little evidence remains.
