We made it home Saturday evening grateful to have gone and more grateful to be home.
The filight in and out of Denver are hairy, and we more than white knuckled it flying into Denver from Omaha.

The Church History was great and we found references to some relatives that crossed the plains part way and died on the trail. Some in Mount Pisgah and in Winter Quarters.
Some pictures of such places:
Mount Pisgah-
Alvah Hancock is my 4th gggGrandfather who died at Mt. Pisgah
John Lawrence is Mom's gggGrandfather who died at Winter Quarters. His name was on the book on display in the visitors center, across the street from the Pioneer Cemetery.
And on the plaque in the Cemetery with a son and possibly a daughter. Tough times in Winter Quarters in 1846.

Sounds like it was a neat trip! I'll have to see if I can find those markers next time we go to Winter Quarters.
looks like it was a fun trip. glad you guys made it back safely. we went to winter quarters in the dead of winter, it was so cold, we couldn't stand to be out of the car for longer than 5 min. at a time. i can understand a little bit about why winter quarters was such a rough place for the pioneers.
That is so neat to find our ancestor's names on the plaques and journals. What an experience to have! We are glad you are home though.
