Onward to Zions Camp

Here are long anticipated photos of our handcart Trek with the Vancouver east stake. Lori and I were the trail masters. We lead them on a four day handcart experience. This was a very emotional experience. You definitely put yourself in a position to get a taste of what our pioneer ancestor's went through.
We had them pull their handcarts up a steep hill with ropes, had all the men conscripted to the Mormon battalion, and had the women pull the carts up a steep hill. It was hard watching them pull all by themselves. But they did it. There were 550 people.
We then crossed a lake on a replica ferry. Very authentic. The youth were great. So was my assistant trail boss.
