David, Carme-l- a and Jess met us there. We were told that President Hinckley was dedicating a marker and that the wagon train would go to that spot, stop and listen and see the prophet When we got there we could see a crowd of people but could not hear nor see the program. Some people got off the wagons and walked closer where they could hear but everyone was asked to get back on the wagons. We were disappointed, but the Vfyoming BLM bunch Nephi, Utah Wednesday, July 16, 1997 ; the banks. I remember reading how happy the pioneers were to see the trees and grass. Oh, but the pioneers and those of us on the wagon train found other living things there too swarms of mosquitoes! We sprayed bug repellent and swat and swung our arms, but were still covered with bites. After the pioneers left this spot they had sickness with fever and headache etc. that lasted a week or more. They called it the Rocky Mountain fever. Later it was suspected that it was either the mosquitoes or else the alkali dust coming up in the faces. We encountered both, but so far we are fine. We watched the covered wagon, with 2 men seated on it, be ferried across the river in similar fashion as was done 150 years ago. I checked some people I re, doesnt want anyone walking membered. Several walkers ALONG THE TRAIL trail whenever possible Family members visit Dale along the It was a very warm day as I (DaNell Worwood) arrived in camp in Wyoming. As the wagon followed the exact Mormon Trail in Wyoming we came to some hard places to handle. Washes with rocks jolted us in our seats. We tipped one way and then the other across the dry barren sagebrush desert of Wyoming. One time, we came to a gully about 4 feet deep. We were to get horses and wagon into the gully and make a sharp left turn. Three horsemen stayed nearby to watch. The wagons ahead made it. Our wagon was almost through it and I thought how swell Dale had done when out our horse tripped on a sagebrush and went to his knees. Then he rose up and lunged up the other side of the gully tipping us severely. The girl seated next me leaned across my lap and held tightly to a board near me. She said, I was halfway out! Then Dale was able to turn the horse back to the gully and our wheels settled back down. Several wagons later a lady took her team of mules through, but they too went up on top of the other side, then the reach broke (it is a connection between the front and the back axles). Away went the mules followed by Bre, who had been pulled headfirst down by the tongue, then came the two front wheels! She held tightly to the leather lines knowing the wheels could run over her if she let go. The team of mules ran about 100 feet before men on horses stopped them. Her pioneer skirts were twisted and entwined with the lines and it took a while to untangle them. She was scraped and bruised, but she got up. She spent about 6 days in an ICU in Rock Springs, but she is out and fine now. Later in the same place another wagon broke in two. Both wagons were repaired and on their way in a day or two. We had several visitors Robert and Carolyn Jarrett were there and we found a note from Lee Fowkes, but we missed him. The trails were dusty and we were trying to cover out noses and mouths to keep it out. We watched a cloud and wished it would rain. Lynn and Valerie andfhildjren - are doing more riding than walking. Some are dedicated and will walk every step with faith in every footstep. One man from Snowflake, across their 8" sagebrush land. I guess we only had a permit to be in the wheel tracks. This was so desolate that the sagebrush was very short and a few cacti here and there. I never saw a bird, butterfly, snake, rabbit or any other living thing that seemed to be part of this environment, and there were many dusty miles of it. Lynn and Valerie didnt ride the wagon that day so he was able to go to the program and Arizona, rode his horse dose to our wagon. Everyone was tired and dusty. He mentioned that he was also. A girl on our wagon said, Til ride your horse and you can rest a little in the wagon. He said, No Mam, I had a talk with my horse before we left Arizona and I told him that if he would carry me all the way I would give him all the oats he could eat We made this agreement and we will go every step together all the way. After I returned home, I talked to Dale. They are having quite a lot of rest days the next 10 days or so. In the meantime, they are seeing some local attractions. They rode horses up into the Unita Mountains one day. It was pretty and fen, but they got real tired before they made it back to camp. Dale told me our friends from Idaho (we had been traveling in wagons near each other) had an exciting experience when a ring on the equipment broke. A runaway was on over the brush, across a busy highway take pictures. They hurried ahead of us, set up camp, and had a Dutch oven meal cooking for family and friends of Dave. It helped make the day nicer. Lynn and family went home the next morning. David, Carmela and Jess rode the wagons to the Green River crossing. I thought it would be at Green River, but it was not at the city but instead it was here the pioneers crossed the Green River itself. The pioneers built rafts; some were better than others. Eventually, they had a good raft that took them across the river. Other people following them would pay the Mormons to take their wagons across. Today we would watch a demonstration as they rafted wagons across the Green River. It was a pretty place with the water there and trees along See - Trails on page 10 " Dear Editor Mourn IS233irvonir I would like to correct a few statements that were printed in The Times-New- s July 9th concerning the closure and give away of the county road leading into the Mona Reservoir.

I had the brief and unique opportunity to observe the Ute Stampedes Bathing Beauty Contest. Wow! Am I in a time warp or what? I thought bathing beauty contests went out with public floggings and hangings. Then I contemplated this long-hel-d tradition and thought, its just beauty, right? Why be critical of our UNDERAGE girls in the community seeking the title of most beautiful body of the year? Why would anyone want to noeliminate such a ble tradition? But it just isnt fair! Our young long-hel- men in the community are being denied equal time and attention. Therefore, I propose next year Juab county start the annual Ute Stampede Speedo Competition. Our UNDERAGE young men deserve an opportunity to wear ONLY a Speedo bathing suit and display their bulges too. Its just beauty, right? And the women in our community should have equal time to admire the UN- DERAGE opposite sex. Remember, whats good for the goose is good for the gander.

Mayor Dubinsky commented that it is hard when kids ask for donations to determine where to start, stop and what to have them do. Council member Shepherd felt he would rather donate to something like this than to things that really do not represent the community.
