Utah Ex-Mormons to Celebrate Pioneer Day by Trekking Back to Missouri

 

In commemoration of the 175th anniversary of the arrival of Mormon pioneers to Utah, the local ex-Mormon community is staging a trek back to Missouri. Noah Nombre, third great-grandson of Brigham Young, is leading the charge.

“We don’t blame Missouri for wanting them to leave,” Nombre explained. “Utah is not the place,” said Nombre, who maintains that his group is not a religious faction.

Each ex-Mormon pioneer must invest 10% of their net wealth into gilding Nombre’s Reddit posts and commit to abstaining from Postum and jello during the trek. The company will depart from This Is The Place Heritage Park today at 6pm.
