Brother and Sister Cirks Caretakers 2002-2011



Brother and Sister Cirks      Served as Caretakers  2002-2011


Brother Cirks is a mechanic by trade and brought many pieces of equipment back from the dead.  There was always something to be done i.e. burning downed timber, mowing grass, anything to improve the beauty of God's dedicated land.   His most memorable time was during the Young Women's Camps.  

Some projects were:  nursing station, fenced in showers, screened in doors on Sariah Shelter, screened in entrance at Winter Quarters, the arch bridge, new trail to the amphitheater, landscaping around the house, and the zip line across the pond.  

Camp Alpine was such a delightful place to live especially in the winter.  The visits from the coyotes, bobcats, mountain lion, deer, and bear were always a treat to see.

A very exciting time was when a storm downed a huge tree into the creek.  It was Elder Ken Larsen from Philomouth Ward that received the inspiration on how repair the creek. The inscription on the wall "I Believe" is his inspiration.  It was an honor to work with him and Elder Mel Thompson of the Springfield Ward.
