Have you every wanted to go on a road trip with Rick B? Now’s your chance! This is the first in a series of Tangent Trips we’ll go on: Gilgal Gardens. The idea is to visit various Mormon history sites, both obscure & famous, and take you along for the ride!

In this first Tangent Trip, we’ll visit Gilgal Garden, home of the Joseph Smith Sphinx! Why a sphinx? Why not! I’ll let my friend Clair Barrus tell you more!
