Last weekend my husband and I and his sister and her husband all traveled to 

Wyoming to see some of the historic pioneer sites. While there I took several pictures of the area. One in particular that got to me were the handcarts. To think that people actually walked across the US and pulled these is simply incredible. They could only carry 17 pounds with them, that included food and it had to last for almost 3 months! I think I would have been a lousy pioneer!
