I needed to go to Wyoming yesterday. Driving home via I-80, I noticed all the pioneer hand carts and porta-potties—rows and rows of them. Apparently, in the olden days, there weren’t porta-potties, so early trek recreations didn’t have them. However, now that thousands participate in Trek, modern sanitation is a must!
I’m told a number of years ago, a live turkey was killed, dressed, and eaten. But, alas, Trek now has prepared meals.
Ah Trek! What a powerful way to mythologize a part of Mormon history. Testimony meetings galore! Sanitized outhouses and church history, and a sense of we are the chosen youth.
