Grafton

This house, a church/school, and two much smaller homes are all that's left. I took the photo with the school behind me. Apparently this tiny area was used in the movie butch cassidy and the sundance kid. The bike ride bit happened directly behind where I was standing for the photo. The other indoor shots come from the small home across the lane from this nicer house. It was much smaller and more run down. You can see where some ceiling beams have been replaced. There are still cows that graze. We ran into two women that spent their childhoods living in a home that's now gone. They had no electricity and they'd have to daily go get water from the nearby town of rockville. While we were visiting a large yellow butterfly landed on her shoulder. It was a neat place to visit and we counted ourselves lucky that the sons of the utah pioneers group was out there touring the same time as us so we could get the stories.
