We have been helping out with the youth conferences that are
held near Bluff in conjunction with Bluff Fort and the amazing story
that is told there of the pioneers who traveled there in 1879-1880.
They were called by the prophet, John Taylor, to find new
land that the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints
could settle and establish new communities where the ever-growing numbers
of people could live in. This activity was designed to simulate the need
they had to spread out and find the best route to their destination. The
pioneers we are talking about traveled in wagons but we use handcarts.
