[edit] Middle and intermediate school
There is one high school, one middle school, one intermediate school'...
Aren't "middle school" and "intermediate school" the same thing? They certainly redirect to the same article... Alai 05:54, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
- My mistake, school district link reveals all. Tried to make this more clear. Alai 06:19, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
Dale Young, from whom the alternate high school is named (he and his wife Adele donate generously to education) developed a herbicide later called Agent Orange after it was co-opted by the military. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.219.12.207 (talk) 09:40, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
The canyon leading east from Brigham City toward Mantua is NOT Sardine Canyon. Sardine Canyon is to the east of Dry Lake. The highway through Sardine Canyon was abandoned in the late 1940s and the road from Brigham to Logan/Wellsville proceeds up Box Elder Canyon, across Dry Lake Valley, and down Wellsville Canyon. As the present road comes to the crest going northward from Mantua looking down on the Dry Lake Valley (this is Sardine Summit) the old road can be seen heading off on the north side of Dry Lake Valley towards Sardine Canyon. It is now impassible, but if you could go along it the road would come out by crossing the present highway at an angle (just where the present road comes out into the south end of Cache Valley) and continues on into Wellsville. The old road swings through Wellsville and comes out again on the present road just to the northeast of Wellsville.
I realize that a lot a folks in and around Brigham City call the entire mountain pass from Brigham to Wellsville "Sardine Canyon" but this is incorrect.
- Thank you! You are the only other person I know who has gotten that correct. I know, I think I'm the one that put Sardine Canyon in the article, but that's because I didn't know what it was really called, so I put it as Sardine, even though I knew that it wasn't. Is Box Elder Canyon really its proper name? bob rulz 02:11, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
Yes, it is.
