After dedicating the temple in 2002, president Hinckley encouraged all to walk down Parley street towards the waterfront and experience the "exodus of greatness" or exiting of Nauvoo. Along the trail are plaques that have excerpts of journals and quotes of those pioneers who left everything to cross the river. Pres Hinckley asked everyone look back to the temple and imagine leaving everything you have. What faith! It was my second time to Nauvoo and still touched me as I walked down to the mississippi river and looked back and imagined myself seeing that gorgeous temple for the last time.
