Getting Ready For Trek

 Getting ready for the trek took many visits and and practice hikes up at the Camp Cumorah area.  It was so fun to imagine what we would do as a ward and practice hiking with our friends the Hermansens.  They had little kids and we needed to see how they would do.  The Hermansens were also the trek specialists.

 We had to figure out the river crossings.



We got to move branches and trees so our handcarts could make it through.

 We decided where we would hike and how far.












 We wandered around to make sure that we had the right path and crossed at the right place.
The old Bishopric got one last hurrah!

 We got to see how deep one of our river crossings would be
Tim McDowell helped everyone out. 


It was so fun to get ready for this.  Jeff was like a kid in a candy shop.  He kept finding excuses to go up and get things ready or check out the site.  The youth spent a few days removing cow pies from our camp site .  It was a real sacrifice.
