It's been a long time since we visited last, it's good to have time to get caught up with old friends.

Let's hope it doesn't come to that!<br /><br />Thanks for coming over today!<br /><br /><br />Hey Duke...<br />Folks are going to have to start getting mentally tough! Prepping means the physical as well as the pantry!<br /><br />Thanks for coming over this morning!<br /><br /><br />Hey Momlady...<br />That was long before folks became addicted to the "boob tube" and staying inside!<br /><br />Certainly more physical than we are today, for the most part!<br /><br />Thanks, lady, for dropping by!<br /><br /><br />Hey Sixbears...<br />They probably had no idea what awaited them in Utah! Their religious leaders said go...so they did!<br /><br />Scary how some folks follow so blindly, isn't it?<br /><br />Thanks for coming over today!<br /><br /><br />Hey Phyllis...<br />I think several books were made from diaries of some of the travelers.<br /><br />Like JoJo said, many books were written about this by folks who had seen the journals.<br /><br />Thanks for coming over this morning!<br /><br /><br />Hey Dizzy...<br />Seems like it would have been easier to me as well!<br /><br />Maybe they just didn't have the money! Long trip on foot!<br /><br />Thanks for coming by, my friend!<br /><br /> <br />Hey John...<br />They earned whatever awaited them in Utah! I hope they were happy when they got there!<br /><br />Guess to some folks the grass is always greener somewhere else!<br /><br />Thanks for the visit!<br /><br /><br />Hey JoJo...<br />Faith and fortitude had to be what kept them from turning back!<br /><br />You'll like this cake, sweetie!

Maybe it was their faith that kept them going..<br /><br />Peach cake? I don't think I have ever had peach cake before.

I don't see anything wrong with carts but wouldn't some goats or cows or something hooked up to them have worked better or at least helped?Dizzy-Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150939928800538404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-76165743841681467532012-06-09T07:06:28.003-05:002012-06-09T07:06:28.003-05:00Wonder if anyone kept a diary?

It would be interesting to read about the day to day travels and problems.<br />Thanks for the history lesson - never knew people pushed carts all that distance.<br />Peach cake??
