In Sweetwater…

We set up our tents at the “Mormon Handcart Historic Site.” The Mormon Handcart Pioneers were participants in the migration of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints to Salt Lake City in Utah. The members used handcarts to transport their belongings. This movement continued from 1856 until 1860.
As luck would have it, there was a group of people at the site. We had an opportunity to observe a group of people pulling handcarts into the campsite. This was a recreation of the actual movement of the Mormon Settlers in the eighteen hundreds. The group had pulled their carts a total of 12 miles on this hot and windy day.
It’s 7:30pm and not a sound can be heard in the still of this night. Everyone must be sleeping and that is exactly what I should be doing.
Until tomorrow.
