We trekked from Riley's Ranch to Mile High (7 miles) and then back a different way (2.5 miles) the next day. We slept in tents (some boys under the stars) without any padding. We could only bring what would fit in a pillow case and it had to weight under 15 pounds.
It was a definate challenge and we were sore and tired for a day (okay 3) after we got home, but we'd happily do it again. I just hope we have some bigger boys next time:)

Stan on the lead rope
THe boys lifting the cart over and up the gorge. We had to unload our entire cart, fireman carry the stuff across, carry the cart over and then reload the cart. Whew!
Working hard during the Girl Pull. We sure missed our men gone with the Mormon Battalion
Me at Mile High Ranch. See all those carts lined up in the background?

What an adorable pioneer you would have made. Glad everybody made it out alive (no deaths caused by dysentary ;)
