Pioneer Trek




In the month of June of this year Briggs got to participate in a church activity that gives the youth of the church the opportunity to re-enact the Mormon Pioneer Trek somewhat like it would of been back in the day. This year, the youth got to experience part of the actual path that the Mormon pioneers took, and it included muddy roads, rain showers and downpours, dragging a handcart through streams, mud, junk and all that goes with life on the trek. Briggs left there with a new understanding of the hardships of the pioneers, but also the faith that they must of had to even commit to going and then finishing it the whole way. What a great experience for him and me... as I got to go and take pictures along the way.
