What image do you have of pioneer living?

I imagine everyday being very hard but at the end of the day knowing it was worth it.

What's the most challenging thing you and your family (or group) have experienced?

I don't know, maybe when a drunk driver almost hit our car in Texas. Maybe when we were driving through Utah and a very sleeping truck diver fell asleep and accidentaly made his huge 18-wheeler truck turn on its side! EEEEK. Scary!!!!

I would miss my friends, junk food, computers, TV, video games, FREE TIME, ipod, celle-phone, and make-up!

We usually do this sort of thing when we travel, but only for like 10 min.

I hope to expand my knowledge of life on the Frontier and to know from experience what it was like!

Probably the clothes, learning new and harder stuff, not having so much free time, and learing to live without modern day stuff!

I would like to learn how to make food a different way, everything kinda.
