Brett Mangum, Dick & Carole's son, planned and executed our reunion. He did an amazing job, found a place that had ancestral significance, and yet he was flexible enough to change plans to accommodate the wishes of the group.
19 July 2013: We all gathered at the reserved campground in Hobble Creek. It was perfect.

20 July 2012: Family History Tour
This is the monument erected to honor Edwin Whiting, my 3rd Great Grandfather.
The marker states:
In Memory of

Homesteaded This Ranch

Mom, Dawn Turner Mangum, attended the dedication
of the monument when she was 15 years old.
Such a beautiful place to homestead.

Mom was tired so I took her home while the rest of them continued on with the family history tour and packed up camp. We then went to Bountiful to watch the parade in celebration of the 24th of July. The main reason we wanted to attend the parade this year was to see the 2,060 Stripling Warriors, the Sons of Helaman. Spencer and Hayden were marching with them.
