Martin's Cove

On the 6th of July we traveled to Martin's Cove.... about a 700 mile ride.... so we could "trek" for 3 days to kind of 'feel' of the spirit of the saints who traveled along those trails with all their trials out in almost no-where to get to the Salt Lake Valley. Our ward group was about
56 counting the
young men & young
women, ma's & pa's,
the cooks & company leaders. It was a tremendous experience for us all.
The sacredness of the area, the quiet beauty of those massive hills up there
kind of on top of the world, the wonderful stories & council the missionaries shared.... we couldn't have asked for better weather. And the
mosquitoes were not that bad now that were are away from the swarms!!!

There's that tired old trekker out on
the trail... looking at the flowers....
drinking in the sights & feelings

At 6th Crossings we forded the
River 3 times on our 10 mile trek
for that day. After the women's
pull & our warmest day it was
a delight!!
