Picture above is one of the stops we made
Talk to the youth about how the Pioneer had to split up from there family
Rock was a marking for the Pioneer they would sign there names on it so the
family that got split for other was able to find there name on the rock
and know they could still be alive
I not the actual Rock
Stake had one made and we had the youth and Leader sign it

 

Resting

Trading post
Water/Goodies

On the 2nd Day
We had a lot of sand to walk in, and one crazy hill to go down
and straight back up.
I going to describe it. we would go up and hill and head back down it
when we got to the bottom the Hand cart would Stink in the
sand 3 to 4 inch pull and push it out again
Also on the 2nd Day they just wanted to youth to push and Pull
the Hand Cart. We did help some time
But they did do most of the work
We walk 8 1/2 Miles that day



 

The Women
We got spilt up from the Men
So we had to work together and pull and push the Hand Cart

The last stretch for the women to pull and push was to go up the
 Big Hill. 1st hand cart started to go up and got stuck. So all the
Young women and Ma's Dropped the hand cart and started to run to
help the 1st hand cart up the rest of the Hill.
We had 5 Hand Carts to take up the Hill
We all work together to get the rest of the hand carts up the hill
It was great experience  to see all the women work together
to make it up the hill

Men stood up at the top of the hill with there hand over there heart
It was crazy to look over and to see the men shedding tear's
Bill said to me it was a humbling experience to Women work so hard and
together to get the hand cart up the hill
It was Not easy to watch and not able to Help

and started to tie it
