Across the street from the store is the Bauers RV Park. Rex Bauer, the original owner of the apple orchard where the park now stands was a good friend to Grandpa Esplin. They roomed together while attending Utah agricultural college in Logan.

The water tank sits near the location of John Esplin's house (37° 17'47" N, 112° 37'11" W). John would ride his bull from here down to Orderville to go to Church. My father (Willard) said that he didn't leave his bull at the Church but instead by some trees (around 37° 16'36" N, 112° 37'53") and walk the rest of the way.
