Martin's Cove

In October, while the kids were out for Spud Harvest, we were able to take a trip to Casper Wyoming to visit Ryan's brother.  We drug the trailer over there and stopped on the way at Martin's Cove.  It was so neat to learn about the handcart pioneers and their struggles. The kids enjoyed pulling their own handcarts around the little pioneer park.  We went to the actual cove and the next morning hiked out to Devil's Gate.  It was a neat experience for all of us.


The next day, we got to Casper and went to the Interpretive Center where the kids got to ride in a covered wagon, again pull a handcart to see if they would have made it to the Salt Lake Valley and several other activities.

Then we spent a couple of days with Ryan's brother and his family. It was good to see them and spend some time with them.  Unfortuneately I didn't remember to pull my camera out while there so I didn't get any pictures of them.

It was a fun trip and we are so glad that we got to go.
