Welcome to Utah. This is the right place.

Zola is visiting Utah this week. We took advantage of a beautiful spring day to visit This Is The Place Monument. This site commemorates the arrival of the Mormon pioneers into the Salt Lake Valley in 1847, and those who came after. The spot provides a great view of the valley and somewhere around here Brigham Young told the first group of settlers, "This is the right place."





Zola is descended from Anson Call, a prominent early Mormon pioneer. This bust of Anson was recently dedicated up at the site, but it doesn't really give any information about him. Too bad, Anson. You are almost famous.

See any resemblance?
