Teens from all around Polk County gathered at Lake Arbuckle right after Christmas for Pioneer Trek 2012.
The pulling of belongings on a cart was a re-enactment of a cross-country trip many decades ago.
Scores of teens from all over Polk County descended upon Lake Arbuckle Wildlife Management area two days after Christmas.
It was an organized, orderly, chaperoned gathering sanctioned by the Forest Service but it was far from one of the usual nature or camping groups.
