Some 85 people and 10 wagons traveled 10 to 15 miles a day with a layover day when parents and guests can visit and watch the kids learn pioneer skills and have fun playing games. All the 4-H kids took part in setting up and tak- ing down camp each day, and helped cook in the kitchen, serving food and washing dish- es in big outside tubs. Every night campfire stories and songs ending with everyone tired and ready to go to bed early.
