Journal entry: DEAR PEOPLE OF THE WORLD
TODAY WE TRAVELED ONLY THIRTEEN MILES BUT THEY WERE ROUGH MILES. I RODE IN THE WAGON TODAY AND WE WERE ONLY ORIGINAL TRAIL ALL DAY IT WAS ALOT OF RUTS BUMPS AND WASHED OUT TRAIL.

A LADY GOT PULLED OFF HER WAGON AND HER WAGON BROKE AND SHE GOT THE LINES ALL TANGLED AROUND HER AND SHE GOT DRUG FOR ABOUT 50 FEET. IT IS A MIRACLE THAT SHE WAS NOT KILLED.

IT WAS MY FRIEND ZACS BIRTHDAY AND SOME FRIENDS TOOK HIM FOR ICE CREAM IN FARSON THEY ARE HUGE. WE THEN WENT BACK TO CAMP AND PLAYED MONOPOLY IN A LADIES TRAILER FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS.

I SLEPT OUT IN A COWBOY BEDROLL AND ABOUT FROZE TO DEATH. WELL THATS ABOUT ALL FOR NOW

THIS IS DAN SOMEWHERE IN WYOMING IN A WINDY FIELD WITH LOTS OF SAGEBRUSH
