New Location

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we have moved our trek location.  The new location will be at Taylorsville Lake State Park.  The address is: Taylorsville Lake State Park, 1320 Park Rd., Mount Eden, KY 40046

The location is wonderful.  We are super excited about all the beautiful trails that we will have the privilege of hiking.  There will be easy parking for groups and pick ups.

The park ranger is happy to share this property with our group.

Please note the change.

 A beautiful tribute and inspiring story about some handcart families.  I hope this gets us all thinking of the wonderful experiences that await us.

We need. . .

Calling all members of our stake!!!  We are in need of a few things to borrow for this year's pioneer handcart trek. Trek is July 18-20.  We could return these items after that.

We are in need of:
16 - 12 inch Dutch ovens with lids
8  charcoal chimney's
8 Dutch oven lid lifters
8 Dutch oven lid resters
12 large tarps
8 - 5 gallon water coolers
any pioneer clothing that we could borrow

If you have any of these things and would be willing to share, please contact Pam Harp (502) 266-5988.  If you could announce this in your units, I would appreciate spreading the needs.  I know that we can all pull together on this and make it a wonderful experience for all the youth.
