Pipe Springs National Monuments

 

As we were driving through Arizona, we came across the Pipe Springs National Monument.  It is the site of where the Mormons set up a  ranch for the Mormons to raise the cattle and other animals that were given to the church as tithes. IMG_7290

The building built to house the ranchers was built as a fort.  It was thought that the indians were going to be a problem.  They never were.  The building became a way-station for travelers.
