Journal entry:
dear people of the world Today we traveled to a place outside of
Independence rock. When we left Russ Ledger one of the wagon masters
from Wyoming told us that there were 37 wagons 2 buggies 89 horsebackriders
17 handcarts 265 in wagons 256 walkers and 610 on the trail.
We didn't get into camp until 5pm it was a long long day, my mom
and dad had to go back to Casper to get our car I walked all day
so didn;t get in until 6:30
it started to down pour at 9pm my ,mom and dad got back just before
and was my dad mad because we didn't water the animals but he got
over it.
Well this is Dan from a sagebrush field in Wyoming
