We had an awesome experience on our trek. We was up near part of the Grand Canyon you can see that in the bottom pictures. Wow what the pioneers did for us. We only felt a small tidbit of what they must have gone through. I will tell you that it was soooo nice to get home and get a shower and a big glass of ice water. Three days of drinking warm water was enough. I needed my ice water. I came home with a few blisters and sore calves but if I was asked to do it again I would jump at the chance. We walked 15 miles in 2 1/2 days up and down and on flat dirt trails or roads. Ate corn meal mush for breakfast and jerky, apple, roll, cheese for lunch and veg. stew for dinner it was great. I knew I had a wonderful home to come home to, but our ancestors had no idea what to expect. All in all it was a great experience for all involved.
