On or about the birthday of Alma Jones of Nortonville, Utah, his family kids would often take a trip of a day or two regarding where any of us traveled to or from, including ones that his father-Wm. Jones took railroad supplies to Pioche, Utah Territory that is now in Nevada. In Pioneer times, the railroad only came to the area by Dr. Steele Ranch, so Mule Skinners like Ed and Wm. Jones would take supplies to Caliente and Pioche, which in those days were settled as Mormon towns. After "Cash" Jones passed away in 1984, his five kids and their kids would keep up the habit of travel on old dirt roads if we could find them and learn history the fun way. If we did this the write way or even the wrong way, you will have to figure it out. Sorry, don't know how to make this attached whatmacall it bigger to read.
