We drove up to Martin's Cove on our way back to Utah. Here we set out on our 3 hour tour as happy pioneers.
Then it started to rain and lightning had to run for cover.
And then we got attacted by a rattlesnake on the side of the trail...

We spent two days in Utah for the Ellsworth Family reunion.
We finished our Nauvoo to Salt Lake trek at This is the Place Monument and found a plaque dedicating a tree to Edmund Lovell Ellsworth, Craig's GG grandfather who led the first handcart company to the Salt Lake Valley.

and then it started... when can we get back to our air condioned car with our DVD player, why did we have to come all the way up here to see this, I'm hungry, I'm tired, I'm wet, I need to go to the bathroom but I'm not going to go in the bushes because there are rattlesnakes in there...
