Jim, Ethan and I had the opportunity to go on Trek with our Stake (August 2nd to August 5th). It was retracing some of the sacred trails our pioneers walked around Martin's Cove. It made me so appreciative of the sacrifices that were made and helped put things into perspective and give a very small glimpse into their lives. My eyes were on the brink of tears many times. The first day we hiked 15 miles, 7 miles the 2nd day and 3 the last day.

My belongings for a few days.
Everything had to fit in a 6 gallon bucket and my satchel.

It was hard, amazing, tiring, uplifting and perfect.
So glad I got to experience it with these two fine men.
