We went and saw some ghost towns this weekend!
We went up near Price and Helper UT.
My Mom grew up there and told me about a
couple of the towns that were still populated when my mom was in highschool.

The first one we went to is called Hiawatha,
a boy my mom thought was cute lived in this city and it is awesome!
You have to have permission to go there and
so we just drove on the main road and took
a couple pictures but our goal (now that we know who to call)
is to get permission to go there and go explore for a whole day in August!
I read about this house in Hiawatha city
and it was used to board teachers.
The Hiawatha store
The next place we went to was a little coal mining town
called Coal City,
it just had a few remains but it was still cool.

Owen and Momma going
for a walk in Coal City
We found this tractor or whatever it is and you need to look
really close at Owen's face it is so cute!
He loved being up on that thing!

Then just a couple miles up the same road
we went to a town called National and it had hardly anything left.
Trent making sure we were in
National town if you can call it a town :)
What was left of National.
Then we found some remains up Spring Canyon
and after we explored we went back to the van to load up the
four wheeler and after everything was loaded
we tried to leave but the battery was dead! How thankful
we were that a group of teenagers had
showed up just about 10 minutes before
we left so they jumped our battery.
These are the supposed haunted
remains up Spring Canyon
This is where the accident happened.
I found out from the teenagers that it was an old coal dispensary and it had collapsed and men had died and supposedly it is haunted. They also told me about a "white lady" further up the canyon that haunts some remains up there looking for her husband who died in a mining accident. We would have gone looking for those remains but because of our dead battery we drove straight to Price to get a new battery.
When we got the new battery Trent went to put it in the van and low and behold the connectors were so bad that he couldn't even get them off the battery so we found a really nice mechanic that stayed open late and replaced the connectors for us.
Mommy and Owen entertaining ourselves
while waiting for the car to get fixed.
We decided to stay the night in Price and relax for the evening with food and some swimming.
Owen does not like sleeping in the bed with us so none of us really got any sleep :(
All in all this was an awesome weekend! We had so much fun!
