Well, sorta, kinda.

I was traveling in the San Angelo - Sonora, TX area yesterday and passed by the county road in Eldorado leading to Warren Jeffs' former YFZ Ranch. Having never seen the temple before we decided to make a quick detour. It was rather trippy as we made our way down this old, barren west Texas road. As the road started to deteriorate we started to wonder if we were in the right place, when suddenly, there it was in all its splendor - THE TEMPLE! Of course I've seen it in photos online, but it was so bizarre to be driving and driving in this hot desolate deserted area and then suddenly, around a bend, have this big WHITE temple rise out of the desert. We stopped and took photos and a quick video from afar. There was no one around the locked WHITE entrance gate, but there were plenty of structures and trucks and crap near the entrance. Not sure if that's left over from the seizure or if some of that belongs to the state. (Texas seized the property last April.) A local later told us the sheriff is living on the property now because of issues with vandalism.

Just thought I'd share my "temple experience" with y'all. :-)))

Thanks jerry. We were on County Road 300 which can be seen on the map.

It will be interesting to see what becomes of the former temple.
