This morning as the Trek arose they began a transition. Up to this point, the stories and experiences they have had have focused on the Martin Company - the last of the two companies to be rescued. They were a larger group, had left two weeks after the Willie Company and been more severely affected by the early storms and reduced rations.
Friday morning begins their experience as the Willie Company. What stories do you know from the Willie trail? What do the names Bodil Mortensen, Emily and Julia Hill, Reddick "Bulldog" Allred, Jens and Elsie Nielsen and Levi Savage call to mind?
What does the trail hold in store today?
"Welcome to the Valley" Reminder…
Please spread the word to keep a close eye on the Blog or Facebook on Saturday. The leaders will be messaging us to let us know when they are leaving Wyoming so that we can approximate the time of arrival at the Stake Center. It will be sometime late afternoon/early evening.
We really want as many people there to "Bring Them In" so tell your neighbors and friends! Wear pioneer dress…bring a hat or bonnet and be prepared to cheer and wave!
