We are at least a good 100 miles south of Prescott. Darn, you could have stayed with us. Maybe next time!<BR/>RebeccaRebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11888304209768427120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240914274053837016.post-69632896283121609932007-09-20T10:57:00.000-07:002007-09-20T10:57:00.000-07:00Hey, Matt and Rebecca: Great to hear from you.

I'll be staying in Prescott with my best buddy, Pete.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>ScottScott Waylandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03006620046608654123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240914274053837016.post-47250733273194518612007-09-17T17:35:00.000-07:002007-09-17T17:35:00.000-07:00Hey Scott...your cousins here in Arizona are enjoy...Hey Scott...your cousins here in Arizona are enjoying your cycling adventure! As Mormons ourselves, we enjoyed reading about your travels through Nauvoo and seeing the photo of the temple.<BR/><BR/>The Mountain Meadows Massacre was a terrible crime and it is a shame that the acts of the perpetrators has been generalized onto the entire group, or religion, as a whole.<BR/><BR/>Matt and RebeccaRebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11888304209768427120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240914274053837016.post-4233136312176766092007-09-16T09:00:00.000-07:002007-09-16T09:00:00.000-07:00Hello Scott: I find it odd that you didn't bother ...Hello Scott: <BR/>I find it odd that you didn't bother to mention the name of even one book in which you've read all the unsavory business about "Mountain Meadows Massacre". <BR/><BR/>Also two of your photos posted today were taken by you having to stand in front of the "Nauvoo Christian Visitors Center" that is odd too, since this Center is a real Historic building in Nauvoo, built in 1893. <BR/><BR/>The Nauvoo temple is not a historic anything! It is a new building built in 2002. <BR/><BR/>I would agree with your statement "Lots of blind people everywhere, eh?" There are 13 million of them in the Mormon Church today. <BR/><BR/>Be safe on your journey from one Californian to another...<BR/><BR/>Grace and Peace,<BR/>Helen HulseHelenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10856128683518639703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240914274053837016.post-35432969323189568792007-09-15T20:20:00.000-07:002007-09-15T20:20:00.000-07:00Hi, Helen: I've read all about that unsavory busi...Hi, Helen: I've read all about that unsavory business. It's too bad that so many groups and movements have bad business in their histories. One has to hardly crack a book to get into the shadows of the Catholic church. Tracing all the Mormon history would indeed be interesting. Unfortunately, I've got to head south, which is what brought me through Nauvoo in the first place. Lots of blind people everywhere, eh? I'm doing my best to keep my eyes open. <BR/><BR/>Be well.<BR/><BR/>ScottScott Waylandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03006620046608654123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240914274053837016.post-55484024640176010252007-09-15T18:46:00.000-07:002007-09-15T18:46:00.000-07:00I stood at my window today and watched you heading...I stood at my window today and watched you heading down Mulholland Street toward the Mormon Nauvoo temple. <BR/>I have a suggestion for you. Why don't you take your adventure to Mountain Meadows in Utah? You will find Real History there, as your eyes look upon America's first 9/11...you can look across the killing field known as Mountain Meadows:<BR/>The "Mountain Meadows Massacre" was committed by Mormon Priesthood Leaders on September 11, 1857, when they murderd 120 unarmed men, women and children over the age of 7 on the Fancher/Baker wagon train traveling to California from Arkansas. You might want to pay your respect, where it belongs to those that were murdered, by Mormons that still blindly follow the teachings of Joseph Smith today! <BR/>Ask yourself this question where are the well dressed tour guides at that Mormon historical site??Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10856128683518639703noreply@blogger.com
