Five more days to the gathering of the wagons (April 5th).  I'm excited to begin this journey.  It's been a busy time gathering the needed supplies for the four month trek across the grassy plains, up over  the Rocky Mountains and into the Great Salt Lake Valley.  If you're going on this virtual journey with me, you'll need to get a good, stout wagon, some mules or oxen (recommended) and the needed supplies.  I'll post a list tomorrow of what you'll need to (virtually) pack.  Good luck until then.
