words from John Jenkins' autobiography about his place at the "Big Meadow" and on the land near Weston, IdahoATV RENTALSA site in LOGAN, UTAH for renting ATVs: I just learned that there is an ATV place here in Logan that rents 4-wheelers. It is called "Zero Gravity" It is a home-based business, but they currently have three 4-wheelers that they can rent to adults and three 3-wheelers. They also have some smaller 3-wheelers that they can rent to kids. They provide a trailer with the 4-wheeler (and 3-wheeler) and the cost is $65/day. They can also deliver the 4-wheeler or 3-wheeler to the site where the ride will begin if needed (in case there are people from out of town with no way to pull a trailer on their vehicle - which is probably a rental car. If you want to put this information out to those invited to the Jenkins Reunion (because I'm sure there are people that would prefer to rent locally rather than having to drive clear to Ogden) - the name of the owner, the address and phone number are below

Tent Camping only in group site. Amenites include shade, flush toilets, drinking water and dumpster. COST = $3.00 per person. RV Camping is available at other sites in the campground for an additional fee. The campground is especially unique because of the huge Black willow trees, some reported to be well over 75 years old. These wonderful and majestic trees shade the entire campground and give it a southern delta appearance. Photo MapIf your family would like to camp at this campsite, please contact Fay Michelony at fay.michelony@byu.net or Ph. 650-922-1107 as soon as possible. The reservation will have to be let go by June 1st if there aren't enough people interested in staying there.Activities at the campground include: dutch oven potluck, campfire program, horseshoes, fishing and hiking.
The Logan River flows through the campground and offers good fishing for cutthroat and brown trout.

DO YOUR GENEALOGY AT THE LIBRARY

Have you considered how the library can help you with your genealogy? Check our webs site ( http://home.comcast.net/~newtonlib/ ). After you are in the Web Site click on the words Newton Public Library, this will bring up a site that you can search our catalog. I suggest your click title, author and subject. I typed in Salisbury and got 10 hits, most of them were pictures of Salisbury’s in Amos Griffins class pictures, to find out which Salisbury’s picture is in our library check each base and the first and last name will appear in the subject or note matter. You will be surprised how much information we have in our Special Collections. This collection grows weekly. Other great sources are the Encyclopedia of the Church, DUP Books, County books, etc. They are indexed and you can have the librarian copy any information from these books.

Another great resource is thru Pioneer which is also on our web site or at (http://pioneer.utah.gov/ ) In this data base there are newspapers from all over the county and also Heritage Quest is free to use with our pass word. C1P84327. Click on which ever data base you want, and then a screen will come up with city names on it. Go to where it says Everywhere Else and hit Enter Here this is where you use our password ( C1P84327 ) . You will then be able to search whatever data base you want: For instance in Heritage you will find Census, Books, Persi, Fredmans, Rev War, and Serial Set. All free to you because we are a certified library.
