As a kid, we visited my Grandparents ranch every summer - very hot! They lived about 10 miles outside of Springville - turn left at the white barn outside of town keep driving and hope you don't get hit by a logging truck. Lots of great memories!

There's supposed to be a sign there at the barn that says your entering the town of Milo. That old original wooden sign was in my Uncle's barn for years. He had a ranch outside of Springville, just a few miles from my grandparents'. He was going to restore the sign, but don't think he ever did. I imagine the sign is still in his barn. A lot of history passed on when he did. Ironically, he started the Springville museum which is next to the rodeo grounds. Is the Springville Inn still there?
