On the third day we went to Martin's Cove,  We went up in to the cove to see where the pioneers stayed for many days while they were waiting for the storms to subside.  We then went over to see the Statues and then to the River Crossing and then did a women's pull up a steep hill.  It was a very full day.  Then we let the youth drop off their handcarts and transported them to camp.  Some chose to walk and mother hen that I was, I was uptight until they got in camp.  It was around 8:00 when the last group arrived.  By then they were starved and so they had dinner and then a family home evening and went to bed.  Well sort of went to bed, there were some still running around at about 2:00 am.  Which didn't do anything for my sleep.
