The Simper Pioneers

If you had to go to Utah...
Would you walk there like the pioneers did?
Perhaps. But instead of a covered wagon, how about a truck the size of a train? Of course there will be extra stuff to pack...
So we'll have to pack our "wagon" anyway... Things were a bit tight, and some was left behind, but the most precious cargo made it in.There were some detours along the way. Stephanie had some unfinished official business that had to be taken care of before she could leave Arizona. It was very hard work!But at least she had GREAT company!!
When she finally regrouped with her family, there was a great Simper gathering in the beautiful White mountains of Arizona. Unfortunately we did have to bury some of the children along the way...
The Simper Six:And their cumulative 18 children:
And finally after crossing many hundreds of miles
we made it safe and sound at our new home in the foothills of Provo Utah.
And then there are the joys of unpacking upon arrival. There were a lot of fun things hiding in all that paper!!

And that's our own pioneer story of how we got to Utah.
