This was a vary interest days travel from Pine valley to
St George. We had the worst road I have found in the Territory
(except the 7 mile mud Hole Entering Bear Lake valley) the road
was vary hilly rocky & rough. We passed by or along the Base
of a volcanic creator about 1000 feet high Brother Eddings
Emma Woodruff & myself went to the top of it it was a tedious
undertaking. we sunk into the fine soft cinder ancle deep
in climing up the steep sides. We went all around the top of
the cone the hole in the crator was about 200 feet deep
& 600 feet across the top of the cavity it had filled the vally
& surrounding country with vast quantities of Lavy. We
picked up some specimins on the top of the cone & came down
again to the valley much ^more^ Eisily than we went up
We rode on to St George & found the valley for some 12
miles filled with Lavy. We found St George quite a fine
city or a foundation laid for one some of the best Houses
in Utah (except Great Salt Lake City) & some vary fine
vineyards & gardens & orchards growing. I spent the night
with Brother Copeland distance from Pine Valley 40 m
