I have to first thank Gene, Val, and Tim for the great experience. Don and I want to get people together and take them on this same trip and show them how "smart" we are because of what we learned. I have to say that I sure look up to Tim and his family for the thoughtfulness and love that they are portraying throughout their ordeal. Very Christlike.
My favorite part of the trip was the Guernsey Wagon Ruts. It really gave me a sense of that this all really happened and that it is not a bunch of stories. Seeing the ruts in the rock and the sides of the rock scraped away really put it all into perspective and realism for me.
It was a real treat for me to go on this trip with those that made it fun and interesting. Gene was a wealth of knowledge that I wish I could have right in my classroom at all times. Val was great for the accommodations and comic relief, and of course Tim with his ability to show us what a Master Teacher is like. Thanks!
I am going to use the information that I learned about and took pictures about to put into a PowerPoint presentation for the students. I will do the PowerPoint's according to a genre and help the students be able to have a topic to discuss and do some of their own research with Primary Documents and other things that I have. I am excited to teach Utah History this year!
PS Just so that everyone understands. I really do not work out and keep myself in shape. I ran up Independence Rock to say that I did it. I am glad that Pat was alright. I appreciated the clapping when I got on the bus, but I think that anyone would have done the same thing for anyone else. I just happened to be the first one up the hill. By the way, talking about Butts, I was really really sore from going up and all the way back down Big Mountain. I could hardly walk the next day.
Thanks for the friendships and the good memories it was a great trip.
