I was walking along saying to Keith, "I wonder why they call this Emigration Canyon. Emigration means leaving and they were arriving in Salt Lake." I didn't realize that Sam was listening because he was about 10 feet behind me and he yelled, "I'm ready to emigration!"
(They were emigrating from Nauvoo, Il., by the way, and considered themselves exiles/emigrants.)
Keith was showing Sam how the GPS works and how we can name places/points on our path. Sam named one place "Lake View" because we could see the lake. Then later, at another point, he named it "Unlake View" because we couldn't see the lake.
"I'm ready to emigration!" LOL!! Now WHY did he say this?!? He looks blissfully happy in Utah!
