Update from the pre-Jamboree tour
by HML
Thing One’s jamboree troop is posting daily journal entries and photos on their web site! We’re enjoying the opportunity to follow along with Thing One and learn about what he’s seeing and doing. The troop’s webmaster granted permission for us to share some of the troop photos on GimletBlog. View a larger image by clicking on it. We hope you’ll visit the troop’s web site too and read the great stories that go along with the pictures.
On Tuesday the troop had the opportunity to visit LDS Church historic sites around Palmyra, New York. They toured the Joseph Smith farm, the Sacred Grove and Hill Cumorah, and the grounds of the Palmyra Temple. They also visited the E.B. Grandin Press, where the Book of Mormon was first published, and the Peter Whitmer farm, where Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon from the plates and the LDS Church was organized on April 6, 1830. These photos were taken just before a special devotional in the Sacred Grove, and later at the Palmyra Temple.
The troop also visited a Civil War battlefield site, and took pictures of the patrols. Looks like this cannon needs a little Blue Steel, courtesy of Thing One.
All this, and we’re not even at the National Jamboree yet. More adventures to come!
