On Friday May 2nd We had some visitors, Squirrel and Cindy

drove our razor up from Cedar City.  Ray and Georgia rode with

them on up to Deseret Land & Livestock.

Just as we arrived at the gate a train came by, like usual.

We took them of a tour of the Depot, the Trek Center and then around

on the roads.  It was fun to show them the sights.  Georgia

especially loved the antelope.  Afterwards we all drove into

Evanston and had a great dinner at Jody's Diner.  We liked 

it lots, the food was good but the company was

unbelievable!

Today we rode trails in the morning and then in the afternoon

we worked on making new handcarts,  That was so fun.

 It is amazing how the process works from beginning to end.

Elder Nordick has a real system for building them and had

all of us doing what we were told to do.

This is Elder Cowan and Elder Shields with a finished product.

They were putting on the wheels and handles.

 The Sisters were working to build the bed of the cart.

Yep, I got to drill and drive in screws on that beautiful wood.

I"m the one taking pictures so you can't see me in action.

You would have to hold on to your shorts if you saw 

how awesome I looked with a drill in my hand!

 We worked for over three hours and were able to build two

boxes and during that same time Jeff and Shields were

able to put on the wheels, axle, and handle bars.

We had such a good time.  We talked about putting our names on the

bottom of the box, underneath then decided that wouldn't be good.

We would be building monuments, not handcarts.  One Sister said,

"Maybe we could do it when no one is looking"  Me, I suggested

we could carve 2014 then we'd know it was us!  Again it was 

decided to forgo fame and work on just plain service.  So, look

close so if you see the carts later you will know which ones I helped build.

Hahahahahahaha, 

Two Carts finished, only 8 more to go.  Actually, we have 5 boxes

finished.  The welding on the axle takes a longer time to do.  And Morgan

you can't believe how it smells in the trek center, wood shavings everywhere!

Well, after working on the carts Jeff and I took out our razor and rode a trail.

We did great until we got to the camp for the third day.  It is called Lost Camp and 

I have to tell you, it is still lost to Jeff and I!  We never did

see it, we found our way to the end of the trek, but

that third camp is no where to be seen.  Funny, right? 

Hopefully, before we take a group there we'll find it

or they will be sleeping in the corrals.
