The dollar store sells them for... a DOLLAR! All you need to do is cut a circle out of the kick-board, hot glue it to your bucket lit and wa-lah! Who is the brilliant DIY-er? YOU!

Checking in, and checkin off!
Looked at the packing list recently? You might want to, it's crunch time! You will be EMBARKing before you know it!
You can see the packing list on the previous post or on the FaceBook page under 'files'.
Here is another important message from those in the know.
* WARM sleeping bag
* Sleeping pad of some kind to help stay warm from the cold ground
* 2 PAIR of good walking/hiking shoes (well broken in)
* Sweatshirt, jacket/coat, thermals for sleeping, etc.
* A bucket with a lid
(padded lid if you would like to add a pad to your lid for sitting).
STAY WARM, STAY WARM, STAY WARM! The missionaries at Deseret Land & Livestock have told leaders that we should expect temperatures at night to be around FREEZING and temperatures during the day to be mid-70’s to mid-80’s.
Youth! Please be prepared for the cold nights!
Also - Come to Trek on the morning of the 10th having already eaten a full breakfast and have a sack lunch packed. Breakfast and lunch will not be provided the first day by the stake so come with a full belly that morning!

Lots of New Info!
Hi treckers and parents!
First - If you haven't started following us on the other social media platforms you might want to do that right away - it's the easiest way for us to get information to you.
And on to the important stuff!
BUT WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR?
Men -Cotton pants (docker type/no levis), light colored long sleeve shirts, western style hat, suspenders.
Women -2 skirts (mid-calf or longer), light colored long sleeve blouse or dress, 1 or 2 bonnets, bloomers or cotton pj bottoms, aprons with pockets.
Everyone - 2 pairs of shoes and a 5-gallon bucket with lid. It is suggested that you pad the lid so it may be used as a seat.
We will have a Stake sewing day (see below) to assist the Young Women. The YW can bring their fabric with them and we will have R.S. sisters who will be ready with sewing machines to help. If you have any youth that need fabric donated or need assistance with purchasing clothing, please let us know.
REMEMBER YOUR PIONEER ANCESTORS
Each Trekker is encouraged to find their own family history of a pioneer who came to Utah. The youth will be sharing some information about who they are “Walking for” at the first nights fireside. Youth will need to have a name by the parent meeting on April 19th. If youth are unable to find a name, we will assign one to them with some included history.
NEW FRIENDS
Our trek families will include youth from different wards. We will plan on keeping at least 2 youth from each ward in a family. We will take requests that you feel are necessary to ensure a good experience for all.
MARK YOUR CALENDARS!
Wards are encouraged to get their trekkers out walking or hiking
We will have the following dates as optional walking days
Meet at the Stake Center at 8:30-10:00
