Pioneer trek 2010

Some of our youth in the Newport News Stake participated in a Trek to commemorate the pioneers trekking all the way to the Salt Lake Valley from Illinois...They had to dress like them eat like them and push and pull their own handcarts. They were amazing! Not a complaint...the week was record breaking heat in Virginia! So proud of all of them! The Hand Cart

My SIL...happy to see her hubby

they are coming into the "valley" to find family and friends awaiting

Jamestown Ward carried their 'Ma" in

Heat index that day...115 degrees

So glad they made it

The cooker that met them full of pork...they ate similar to the pioneers too so they were happy to see food!
