----------------------------------------------------
I just got back from the Pioneer Trek on Saturday. It was a whole bunch of fun. Even tho it was RAINING the ENTIRE time, and there was four inches of MUD, and the handcart was sometimes hard to pull. . . I would do it again without a question. And the good news is, that i get to. . . in four years.

Lemme start from the beginning:

THURSDAY:

I woke up at 6:45 (trying to milk it as long as i possibly could), put on my long white and black that i got at Goodwill and went to the Stake Center. (Real fast we also had the Topeka Kansas Stake come up and do this with us.) My friend Ashley and me (i honestly don't care about grammar right now so sorry if you do. ;P) So anyway, My friend Ashley and me got put in the same family. (YAY!) We got put in the Spears family from Topeka. So in my family was:

(From Kansas) Ma and Pa Spears, My "Brothers" Clovis, Matt, and Kenny. (Who had to leave early so he "died".) and My "Sisters" Samantha and Kara. Then from Omaha we had ("Brothers") JJ and Caleb. Then me and Ashley. Well we had Bagels and got to know eachother then we also got a "baby" (doll), me and Ashley were the only two who would hold the "baby" so we were the desginated "baby" holders we even slept with it. :P.

Then we made our lunches had orientation and loaded onto the bus for the 2 hour ride to Columbus. (Fred from Youtube lives there. :P.) We got lost on the way so it was more than two hours. (fun. not.) Well we finally got there. And we started to walk, . . . and walk and walk and walk and walk we walked ten miles on Thursday. There was this part where the guys had to leave to symbolize the Mormon Battlion and the three to seven year missions they had to take back then so us girls had to pull the carts. Me and my "sister" Samantha pulled the handcart entire time half of the time running, and half of the time it being up hill. Well when i get pictures i'll show you but there is this area in the middle at the front of the handcart (where me and Samantha were) so when we lifted it up. It went up too fast and we basically flipped our handcart backwards. This happened right as the guys came over the hill. So. . . yeah. I swear it was an accident. Well we kinda met up with the Company infront of us. My friend Jeremy was in that company. Anyway we kinda stuck our "baby" in the cart so could pull it. But Jeremy saw me pull the "baby" from the cart and he went "What did you do to your family's "baby"?!?!" or somethin' like that.

Anyway we finally showed up at the campsite and we basically set up our tents ate our stew and peach cobbler (which was AMAZING), had family time, and crashed. We were TIRED.

FRIDAY:
So we get up at 6 am and eat our hashbrown, sausage, and cheese casserole type thing, (which was really good) got ready and started to walk. We did our river crossing and walked some more. (RAINING the ENTIRE time.)

Well we got to a highway and we had to cross it. But first we took a water break so while we were standing on the side of the highway i was talking to my "brother" Caleb. Lemme just show you our conversation:
*Siren in Genoa goes off.*
Caleb, Me, and Everyone else: I wonder what that was.
Caleb: Maybe it was a warning that the Crazy Mormons are coming.
ME: Yeah, The Mormons are coming! The Mormons are coming!
Caleb: *Laughing* Yeah everyone get out of town!
ME: *Laughing*
* Some guy with a U-Haul trailer comes around the corner and drives by (Out of Town, may i add.)*
ME and Caleb: . . . .
Caleb: . . That was fast.
Me and Caleb: *Laughs*

That was a very weird conversation.

Well we got to the town of Genoa and i was talking to my "brother" Matt, when we passed a marquee that said, "Mormon Handcart Company coming to town June 12, Square Dancing at tennis courts at 7" I wonder what they thought when they first read the sign. Maybe that we were a bunch of re-enactors or something, They probaly were surprised when they found out we were a bunch of Teenagers.

Well then we ate dinner, and basically messed around the rest of the time.

SATURDAY:
This was the day we had our testimony meeting and all that.
Then we left.
We walked 22 miles in 2 days. i honestly think i've had my exercise for the summer. :P.
