I'm sitting here on a snowy mountainside looking down at the valley where I grew up and remembering that somewhere very near to where I am sitting there was supposed to be a cache of Nephite treasure left by Mormon or Moroni or one of their men. There is indeed a cave here that has been filled in with cement, by the forest service or the county, I'm not sure which. I've been in it many times in the 70s but never found a shekel, breastplate or sword. Our grandfathers had heard an apostle of the lord tell them that there were many of these caches in the Wasatch because the lord new the faithful would eventually find their way here. No more Nephite treasures, no more sweeping prohesy, no more mention of the Lamanites who once lived here and who were rapidly turning whiter each school year in the Indian Placement Program. Gone ... Poof, now we are no longer Mormons but Nelsonites ...
