On our way back to Tuacahn we stopped at Cove Fort. If you haven't been before Cove Fort is well.. a fort. It was built by President Hinkley's grandfather after being asked by Brigham Young. It was used as a "pit stop" for people travelling, especially saints.
In the blacksmith shop there are some "handcuffs" for horses. To keep people from stealing their horses at night they would put these cuffs on the horses. These let them walk but they couldn't run.
This picture is of my dad and Ryan trying to get the cuffs undone. They did finally do it.
Cove Fort was actually re-purchased by the church in 1994. The Hinkley family put together donations, bought it and then donated it to the church.
In the picture we are looking at the plaque of donators.
