HAVE YOU EVER WANTED TO GO BACK IN TIME-NOT TO CHANGE HISTORY, BUT JUST OBSERVE AND KNOW

Think about it.  How about going back to the time Columbus first set ground on the unknown land of the Americas, or watching Moses spread the Red Sea.  The rough part would not be wanting to go up to the walled water and see if you could stick your hand through it. Well, I don't have the diaries of those folks, but do have 150 years worth of folks from Juab County. So lets go back at least 74 years for right now, more to follow another time.  As this diary of Alma Jones was written in pencil, it is a little obscured, so I will attempt to type that which he wrote starting on March 9, 1941.
