Josh's ward (Paseo Verde) was having their ward family/Fathers and Sons campout so Sherrie and I tagged along. It was the girls' first campout so they were excited.

We arrived at Warm Springs about 7:00 p.m. and set up our camp. As you can see, we didn't exactly rough it too much. But it was lots of fun. My camping equipment is all set up so I can pack the truck in about 15 minutes. Everything I need is in my coolers and bins. Except for the food, which takes forever.

Saturday morning we were up early and after a ward pancake breakfast, we jumped in the pool. After swimming for what seemed like hours, it was only 8:30 a.m.! We swam some more in the upper pool and then around 9:30 headed back to camp for lunch. We were all hungry!

Packed up and we were home and unpacked by 1:00 p.m.

Lots of fun and we are tired.

In 1968, Howard Hughes, having seen the Warm Springs area during a test flight, purchased the entire Warm Springs Ranch.

In 1978, 2 years after the death of Howard Hughes, the Warm Springs Ranch was purchased by the L.D.S. Church. After a couple of years, the cattle operation started to decline, and the church planted fruit and nut trees, hoping to develop the ranch as a welfare farm. The experimental welfare farm was unsuccessful, so they sold all but 75 acres to other entities. The remaining acreage , which is now called Warm Springs Recreational Ranch, was subsequently developed into a unique recreational area for members of the Church. Included are many camp sites plus two large swimming pools. The Ranch hosts numerous large and small family and group outings, using ground water pumped from a private well to support the grassy fields and campgrounds. Service missionary couples are called to maintain it.
