Our little band has decided to spend one more day in Zion. Ed and The Commander may go for a short walk, and then a hike to one of favorite parts of the park. I am going to arrange to get the trailer through the tunnel. In order to go through the tunnel, you must have a special permit. The tunnel leading east was built for Model T's back in the twenties, so large objects must have an escort. It is a strange tunnel. The tunnel does not go through the mountain, but instead goes into the mountain, and back out on the same side. In fact there are large windows in the tunnel in several places for ventilation. The picture above is one of those windows. The window provides light, ventilation, and also provided a place for the tunnel builders to get rid of the waste rock.
The other choice would be to avoid the tunnel by driving around through Hildale and Colorado City. Hildale is the famous place where the Mormons still have multiple wives. I do not want to drive through there because I fear I could be captured and forced to take an additional wife. If The Commander had help, she would surely subdue me, and I would be forced to do dishes and other terrible tasks. Why any man would want multiple wives puzzles me. One is certainly nice, but two could quickly lead to trouble, I should say more trouble. However, all of Mormanism is not bad. The whole thing started when Joseph Smith found some tablets, that only he could read. Every time I hike in Utah, I look for the tablets. If I can find anything convincing, I will read the tablets to the commander. I am sure the tablets I find will grant me more authority and rights.
