On our way to go camping we stopped at Cove Fort (just before Beaver, UT) to take the tour. I had passed this place going to Southern Utah my whole life and never have stopped to see it. It was were the first Hinckley's settled and were told by Brigham Young to build a fort that would help protect the other pioneers coming through and also have a save place to stay. We also found out that President Gordon B. was the grandson to Ira Hinckley (in the photo) who built the fort. So it was very interesting to learn what it was used for and the History behind it. If you ever get the chance to go there do so, it is very interesting and inspirational at the same time..
