The pioneers who settled the San Juan traveled in 83 wagons. In 2010, trekkers used handcarts. The Kanab stake had a covered wagon (C) for a measure of historical authenticity. "Pulling that handcart taught me I can do hard things," said Spencer Bradford of the Blanding Utah Stake. "We had to pull through some sandy spots, and I wanted to quit. But I thought of the pioneers. They did hard things for months on end. I just needed to trust in the Lord."
