Pioneer Trek

On 10 September, our SNAP friends became pioneers as they joined in a fun pioneer trek led by Sister Woodard and her friend Sister Paulos. Everyone was given a name tag with the name of an actual pioneer. After meeting in the gathering room, we trekked outside to various stations set up to represent important points along the pioneer route. We collected beads along the way to fashion necklaces while we enjoyed delicious homemade bread. We finished the trek in the gathering room, which, magically, became the Salt Lake Vallley.

Ready for the hardship shown in the pictures?

Sure, why not?

The headgear will help

Or maybe you can use it as neckgear

Good idea!

Or it can be used to protect from dust (or rob a bank?)

These hardy pioneer women are all set to go

The trek begins

Happy trekkers

One step at a time

Nebraska

Everybody gather around

Looking for things to make necklaces

Back up the hill with help from friends

We like to help each other

May I take your arm?

Visiting as we go

A good hat helps

Still in Nebraska

Gathering beads

Nebraska is a long state

The river is cold and filled with ice

Wyoming: getting closer

A place to rest and regroup

Wyoming

Stringing beads...

Can be a happy activity

Or a serious activity

Or one of great concentration

And we were pleased to be here

We all felt the same

Finally in "Salt Lake"

Thanks for the fun evening

The webmaster would like to thank Brother Leishman for taking all the great pictures, and we would all like to thank Sister Woodard and Sister Paulos for their good planning and hard work.
