The water Buffalo is a water tank the trek groups can get from us to haul extra water in. The tank shifted in the truck and they couldn't access the valve to fill up their 5 gallon jugs that ride in their carts. They had to play tug of war to pull the Buffalo to the edge of the tail gate.
Here the priesthood brethren are walking up the hill, they have been called out from among the sisters in preparation for the women's pull. It always tugs at my heart to watch the priesthood walk away. What would we do with out the priesthood in our lives? The sisters stay at the bottom and I have the opportunity to visit with them about honoring, cherishing, supporting the priesthood in our lives and helping them know they can do "HARD THINGS" as they prepare to pull the hand carts up the hill. Food for thought: "What's in your hand cart you are pulling and is it worth it's weight?"
While on the NHT we are not suppose to get off the trail for any reason. An agreement made with the BLM. So when we arrive at any bog on the trail, we tredge right on thru it. Many a shoe is lost and swallowed up in the bog.
We loved the opportunity to share pioneer stories with the trekkers while trekking with them. These pioneers have become our friends. We love them and are so blessed by their sacrifice, faith, obedience and charity.
