I live in Moab, where occasionally I meet someone who's a descendant of some of the Hole in the rock Mormon pioneers. They always seem very proud of this fact, whereas I want to tell them their ancestors were insane.
I mean, who in their right mind would leave newly established homes and farms (and I mean tons of hard work) and venture off on such an escapade, following ill-gotten advice when it was common and documented knowledge even back then that there was a ford in Green River and also in Moab and it would've been smooth sailing on down to Bluff. Instead, they chose the most torturous route imaginable.
I think they were all nuts, victims of the cult.
