Oh man, I should try to get in on this one. I teach 4th grade, and we cover Utah history. There are a lot of lessons I teach on those different places. If I can't make it, I would owe you folks big time for some photos of different places.

Corinne was indeed a wild place. It was a real boom-town. You could say it was Utah's version of Vegas as the railroad was being completed. It was also a haven for non-Mormons. As the railroad was finished the people moved out and Corinne went back to being a quiet little place. Many of the citizens moved on to bigger cities like Ogden and resettled. That is one reason why Ogden has a large and long established community of non-Mormons and folks who weren't descended from Pioneers, but have been here nearly as long.

There is most definitely a lot of history on this trip. I'm hoping I'll be able to take part. It sounds like a great one.
Hope you can make it, it's really spectacular out there. By the way, suggestions for your rig:
