Another report from DLL June 21, 08
We just finished our Trek with Crescent 24th Ward from Sandy, Utah. This was a small ward that we had this week. There were only about 40 people total. They came on Thursday and Trekked about 12 miles that first day, using 4 handcarts. I walked the first 6 miles with them. They started from the corrals and that first 6 miles was all cross country. We always walk with them on cross country routes, because is is so easy to be lost in this country. We stayed with them till about 10 pm that first night. One thing about DLL when the sun go's down it starts to cool off very quickly. I always carry my coat in the evening.
Sister Hawk and I always return to the trailer at night, it freezes every night. We got up at 6 am Friday morning and headed to McKay Hollow where the Trek was camped. All said how cold they had been that night. They Trekked another 6 plus miles and made camp. The youth played games in the afternoon and into the evening. Last night they held a testimony meeting. We stayed in the camp till about 10:30, got back to the trailer about 11 pm. Short night, up at 6 am, headed out at 7:30 to the 4 way at McKay Ridge, and the camp. I had to leave Sister Hawk with the Trek to do a route review with Jordan 7th Ward. I finished showing them there route in record time of one hour 45 minutes. One of the guys from that ward is the brother of Sister Niles of Delta 7th Ward, our Home Ward.
Sister Hawk walked with the Trek while I did the review. We finished getting them out the gate early this afternoon. we are both tired tonight, but all is well. We will go to Church in Evanston in the morning. Monday we start getting ready again for Farmington South Stake. This will be a larger group of 480 souls. They are coming on Wednesday morning so we will be busy all week.
We received 24 new wheels, so will soon start rebuilding handcarts.
We always have things to do. We listen to the Cubs and 50's music on the XM radio, that our only entertainment. I am making leather bags to carry our scriptures. God Bless All

Brother & Sister Hawk. I've read your complete blog. It brought back great memories of our Martin's Cove trip in 2006. I bet your having a blast. I'm going to publish your Blog web address in the Focus on Fast Sunday for others to enjoy.
May the Lord bless you for your efforts to serve these members who come to gain an appreciation for what the pioneers did before us.
With our love,
The Millers
Delta, Utah
