Mark and I were fortunate enough to go on a Pioneer Trek with our Stake this summer. Roy South Stake took just over 200 young men, young women, and leaders. Jacob and Whitney went as well. It was really an amazing experience to actually walk where the pioneers did. My 4th great grandmother, Kiersten Erickson Benson, was a hand-cart pioneer. It was amazing and inspiring to walk where she did. Such a stong spirit resides in those very places.
We went to Martin's and Dan Jones' coves, Sweetwater River, 6th crossing area, and Rock Creek Hollow(Wyoming). We had rain, wind, thunder, lightning, heat....it was a good experience and we would do it again!
