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!

When there's a boat in the driveway, I might as well be a widow.

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?
