Every year on July my heart turns toward my ancestors. This year Rod and I were called to be the "Ward Trek Cooks' (yes chef!!) at Martins Cove at the end of June. Even though we didnt push a handcart we join the group as they walked into the Cove. It is so very sacred. And just thinking about the dedication and sacrifice of the early pioneers. It is just amazing. The other day I found this web site that links brief histories of some of the prominent early pioneers in Utah. Not all of my 16 pioneer ancestors are here but some of them are.
