June 26th thru the 28th the Colville Stake had a pioneer handcart trek. There were over 200 people involved. It took place on a ranch in the Fruitland area. The youth ages 12 to 18 were divided into families of 8-10 youth and then into company's of 6 families. There were 3 companies and each had a captain and they also had a trail boss for each company. We had a great time. The leaders cooked for the youth and there were firesides and talks and many games and activities. One of the youth found a rattle snake in their sleeping area and killed it, skinned it and saved the meat to cook later at home. Another youth found what looked like a scorpion. The owners of the ranch were very interested in seeing that catch. Dustin and William had a great time and said it was easy. They enjoyed their adventures. Jim and I had a great time also.
