The Mormon Miracle Pageant
Back on the road- we left Colorado and stopped in a tiny town called Manti, Utah. It's the home of the annual "Mormon Miracle Pageant" ...and we do love these strange Mormon pageants. With a cast of 500, it was held at 9:30 pm for 2 hours--and filled with Mormon families (they love their children- it seems that most of the couples have at least 4 children...) Since all the Mormons for miles around attend the pageant, we got a spot in the local campground- in the fields. The poor Essex was parked in mud with it’s wheels jacked up to make the coach level. We looked a sight- a 45’ motorhome in the middle of a field of tents and campers.
We had a bit of time to explore the area—lots of tiny Mormon towns with wide streets and nothing to do! Rain was threatening for the pageant, but managed to hold off for the entire performance.
