| After 5 long days, Jake got off the bus, filthy dirty, but with a big smile on his face. |
 |
| The few things he could take had to fit in the bucket John is holding, and a sleeping bag and coat in a black garbage bag. |
 |
| Everyone looked tired and dirty, but so happy to be home. They were in the White Mountains about 5 hours away, and had a true pioneer experience pulling handcarts, living off smaller amounts of food and re-enacting some of the experiences the pioneers went through. |
 |
| They were put in groups like families, and actually had a Ma and Pa and brothers and sisters and had to work together to pull their own cart. Jake's Pa came up to me while we were waiting for him to get off the bus and told me what a hard worker Jake was and that he was glad to have him in his family and to get to know him. We feel the same way! |
