Moab • On a Saturday in July, the sun shined on the redrock cliffs of southeastern Utah, and Heidi Foster sat on the banks of the Colorado River. She handed out fruit snacks to kids from polygamous families.
Foster, a plural wife from Taylorsville, was among about 130 people on a river trip. She brought five of her own children, and considered the rafting part of an important weekend where her kids can drop their guard and be themselves.
The rafting was one of the highlights of the annual Rock Rally, a five-day polygamous jamboree at Rockland Ranch, a community for polygamists about 40 minutes south of Moab.
