Today while traveling from Kanab Utah to Hurricane Utah we came across Colorado City Utah. As we drove into the town we noticed that there is a bunch of homes that were started but never finished. We noticed that some of the houses had old weathered plywood but no siding. It was strange enough that we did some research on the town on we set up camp later in the day in Hurricane. It turns out that Colorado City is known for Polygamy (multiple wives). The state of Utah cracked down in the 2000s on what was going on throughout the town. That led to the leader Warren Jeffs going to jail. It also explains why many of the homes are not completed. The interesting thing is that many of Warren Jeffs still live in the town and believe he is innocent and consider him a Martyr. After reading the stories of the town it is a good town to drive through and keep driving.
It definitely sounds bizarre and they feel sorry for him? They should string him up by his . . . . . . . thumbs
