Elias Adams is the pioneer for whom Adams Canyon was named. I thought it would be fun to give his wives a little bit of notoriety for their role in establishing a homestead here in the area. Women have a great role in the family and are untiring in taking care of the children and doing the household chores. Thanks to the pioneer women of today and yesterday.
There is a un-activated TB for the FTF. There is also a TB, which I will show as dropped off as soon as the Geo-cache publishes. To avoid any confusion, the cache is 270 feet north of the trail. CONGRATULATIONS to tanslem and Chuck1up for FTF.
