Seven Persons

We decided we would stop whenever we saw something interesting.

Our first stop was Seven Persons.

We walked into a grain elevator that had been converted into a butcher shop and gallery.

On the wall inside, was one of the legend of Seven Persons.

Long ago, a group of natives were hunting. As they pushed through the grasses, they came to a strange sight.

High in the trees, were seven bodies, all in a row. They were in a perfect line, as if they had been following each other, and somehow died. They natives were puzzled with this site, as the bodies were not in decay.

Drawing back, the natives sat to watch for several days to see if anyone would come to claim the bodies. No one came, and the bodies never changed. Always perfect, and never decaying.
Thinking this must be a spiritual site, the group of natives decided to build a rock wall around the bodies to mark this special spot. Upon completing this, the natives named the site seven persons, they move on.

The following year, the natives again returned to the site. This time, nothing was found. The bodies and the stone wall they had constructed had disappeared, leaving not a trace.


The gallery was up the top of the grain elevator. Everyone walked up the steps to see the pictures, and sayings on the wall.

"We do not remember days, we remember moments." and "Cherish yesterday, Dream tomorrow, and Live today" were just a few on the wall.

Just outside the door, was this beautiful cactus plant. Kenny thought it was an amazing plant. He wanted to take some on the spikes with us on our trip. Mommy thought it would be better to just take a few pictures and leave the spikes there.









We signed the guestbook. It was sitting on the original butcher block.
