Guess who came to the Willie Site/6th Crossing? We knew one of the Elko Nevada Stakes was coming and knew that Carmen and Lenn's son, Lee Shumway, is a stake president in Elko-- yep it was his stake and he said they had a wonderful time and spiritual experiences and he's bringing his family back in the future --distant future (they have a missionary coming home and a daughter getting married and the Shumway reunion at their place) to go over Rocky Ridge. The youth did baptisms in the Salt Lake Temple for their own ancestors on their way home. Their stake had a close encounter with a couple who is Scootin' Across America--he's riding one of those bikes that you lay down on and she is driving a pretty small motorized scooter pulling a little trailer. They stayed an extra day here and went part way on Elko's trek. Kool. Mr. or Mrs. Majka writes everyday on their website:majka.us (click on journals, click on Muddy Gap, Wy to Mormon Handcart Visitors Center and return & Muddy Gap to Sweetwater Station, Wy (that's where we are). It's interesting, hope you take time to look at their site. It's mostly right on and from an outsider's perspective it's great. Has some great pictures. They committed to read the Book of Mormon and "We will" they said on their site. We visited and ate turkey dinner with them --that he writes about. I like the part when he explains our pack it in/pack it out garbage policy--then he says something like it's o.k. if you have 6 support vechicles along with you. You can't believe the stuff people bring up here. Last week one group brought a refrigerated semi-truck. You can't believe what a stake president remembers from his time in Webelos Den--making a little red tool box when Elder Seymore was den leader. It was such a treat to see the Shumway's, Pres. Lee, Becky and daughter Miriam (isn't she Shumway all over or does she look more like her mom?) The missionaries were very impressed by this stake.
