We just finished another week of Trekking. This week Sister Hawk and I had the Syracuse South Stake. There was about 450 to 500 people in the group. We Trekked 12 Miles the first day and 5 the second day. Then on Friday we went another 5. On Friday it was as hot here at DLL as I have seen it in my three years here. The temp. was 91 degrees and that is hot here at 7000 Feet. I took a few pictures this week. The first one in a Buck that I saw near the gate in the tall brush. I only got his antlers. The second one is seagulls setting on the rock during the time the group was having a Ho Down. The third one is trekkers having Ho Down. The fourth one is Seagulls Again. Number 5 is the group having a meeting before they start Trekking on Saturday morning. 6 & 7 is there Handcart loaded and ready to hit the trail.

We are going to Delta after Church on Sunday so we can take our 4 Wheeler home and get the MRI on Sister Hawks knee. We are going to the doctor in Provo on Monday afternoon, to set up a time for her knee operation. We are hoping to get it done soon after we finish here at DLL. We will be done here on Aug 16.

All Is Well

Just a few words from DLL. Sister Hawk and I didn't have a Trek this week, we hauled water for the other treks. We have 4 more weeks of Trekking.
Last week we did see a small Moose. Next week we have four Treks here at DLL. I am looking forward to Trekking again after a week off. Our Treks
start on Wednesday and we have late nights on Wednesday because the Treks travel around 10 miles and that is after they get here and load there
Handcart and start out on the trail. The second night they most always have a hoedown that will last until 10 pm. Then on Thursday night sometimes we
get back to our trailer a little earlier. On Friday night the groups have a testimony meeting and that last until 10 pm or later. On Saturday they finish
there Trek and leave here about 2 pm.

The work is not really hard but it is tiring, we are always tired on Saturday evening. Today we found one of the Port A John trailers has a bad wheel bearing
so on Monday we will repair that. We always make repairs to Handcarts on Monday, move equipment around to where we need it. On Tuesday we
have a day off to go to the valley. On Tuesday night we haul the water trailers to the ranch ( 14 miles) to fill them, to get ready for Wednesday.

All is Well at DLL
