very interesting to know this. That is the same river where I think the Mormon prophet Joseph smith was baptized. My mom had a religious experience going over that river on a train. She felt the spirit, she tells us and then converted later to the church when missionaries came to her door. She had never known about its importance in Mormon history until later! I bet it is a beautiful wooded area?
