Heaven in Utah
On our way to Eye of Heaven Arch, David and I drive through Hilsdale, a funky little town situated on the Utah and Arizona border.
This is polygamy country. The houses are big and could easily house several families. Most have an unfinished corner so that the owner doesn’t have to pay property taxes on the addition. Women and girls in the town seem to prefer wearing long dresses while boys and men wear suspenders and hats.
The south end of Hilsdale is actually the north end of the town of Colorado City, Arizona. This probably makes it easy to skip back and forth across the state border to avoid the law.
A little strange but “to each his own” I suppose.
