Fruit Tree

There’s a neat little historic place near Lee’s Ferry right by the mouth of the Paria River where it meets the Colorado. It’s called the Lonely Dell Ranch. It was founded by Mormon pioneers in the 19th century who carved out a living in a harsh desert environment. They planted an orchard with various kinds of fruit trees that are still here.

The sign said that it’s O.K. for the public to pick ripe fruit. We found a few nice plums.
