Trek




Ian and I went on a youth trip with our church. We did a pioneer trek. It was lots of fun. They put us into families. We called ourselves the Holy Rollers. In our little Family we had four boys and three girls. Neither Ian or I really knew any of these youth before the trek. We pulled hand carts and had a hard time doing it. They were quite heavy. We had to pull all our gear for the next three days and food and water. Plus dutch ovens and other things for cooking with. We learned a lot about the struggles the pioneers went through. At one point the young men were sent to "war" so that left us with the hand carts and our Pa. We had to do the hardest pulls without our young men. It was hard; but I tell you what there are some very strong women around these parts. Of course I know we wouldn't have made it without our Pa (Ian). It was really fun.
