Dear people of the world,
My name is Daniel Whitaker and I have three brothers and two sisters
and a mom and dad. Today was the first day on the trail. We got
up at four thirty. A guy rang a bell to wake us up. We are the eleventh
wagon of 26 and there are 10 handcarts and a lot of walkers. It
was a cold and rainy day in Omaha,NE. We traveled 15 miles today.
We traveled on the side roads out of the city. When we reached camp
site 1 the sun came out and a horse got colic and the horse is better
now. Hi Ken, Sue made it today.
We set up camp in Washington in a hilly weed field. Today went
very well I am looking forward to dinner. Well see ya tomorrow.
