Details
DescriptionPrinted in colour in the 'Leader' on October 8, 1997.
The church had moved from New York to Utah in 1847, carrying their goods in handcarts; the trek took three months in all weathers, including snow.
60 members from local churches, from 14 months old to pensioners, marched five hours from Kaitoke to Cross Creek on Thursday, and to Featherston on Friday. A planned return via the ridge pylon track was called off because of bad weather, but might take place on November 16.
Handcarts were based on illustrations, but one boasted an LDS 1 number plate, '4x4' and an aerial.
Date TakenBetween 2nd October 1997 and 3rd October 1997
