Blog about family history or genealogy and human interest stories. All of the Josephs were prospectors and I have decided to make that a theme in this blog.

Camping Father's Day weekend.
June 15-16, 2012, I went camping with Becky, Cody, Tim and the kids. Eleven people in all. We went up to the north fork of the Duchesne River above Defa's Dude Ranch and above the turnoff for the Grandview Trailhead and Grandaddy Lakes. We went for camping, fishing, gold panning and just socializing, enjoying family and getting outdoors. This is also one of Tim's and probably Cody's old haunts. It was great to go up there with someone who has the background at north fork that they do.
This is also the canyon where I took Newell Carter to his family reunion, twice. Once just last year in August of 2011 and before that in 2006 and also in August. This is also the canyon that has Stone Face in it. Or Sternface, as Newell called it. Some believe it is modified by man, as I do, and yet others think it is totally natural and ridiculous to consider that it was even remotely done or modified by man. This is also in the middle of Lightning Ridge, Rhoades Canyon, Hades Canyon, Iron Mine Canyon, Soapstone, Farm Creek, Rock Creek and Blindstream. Treasure stories abound about this area including tales of the Lost Rhoades Gold Mine.
It was fun but getting ready, camping and coming back got me bushed.
