    You Really Had An Exciting Time! Tell Me Some More.

    Sunday, September 14, 1873.—Mr. Walling unexpectedly drove up and said he was ready to go over in the Park. He hurried us all up and we were all packed, about ready to start at eleven o’clock. We drove out about six miles and took dinner. We spread our table by the side of a stream, built a fire, and had some warm food. We enjoyed it much. We rested one hour and then drove on. We made good time through the woods, and we thought that we might have time to pass the range by daylight. We ascended the range slowly. We did not get to the other side of the range until after dark; we made camp about nine o’clock and did not get to rest until about midnight. We had a flaming camp fire, which was very grateful after sitting some time in the wagon waiting for a good camping spot to be found.LASW 77.2

    Monday, September 15.—We took breakfast and then packed our bedding to move on. My husband, Willie, and myself were seated on our horses. My husband and I rode on. Mr. Walling and Sister Hall were in the wagon. We left our spring wagon because the road was so rough we could go no farther. We rode about two miles, when Willie called us to come back. Mr. Walling had broken down. We rode back and saw that the wagon was broken, and we must make camp where we were. We rested a while, and Mr. Walling took his three horses and the spring wagon back and was to send us the axletree or bring it Wednesday. We made a very comfortable camp and had plenty of bedding. The nights are very cold. There is ice on the water, and the ground nearly freezes nights.LASW 77.3

    Tuesday, September 16.—We are very tired and lame today. We took cold, which makes us feel as though we could scarcely move. Our camp is in a grove of heavy pines. There is a small open space of ground, with grass for horses. On the south rises a high mountain of rocks. Trees seem to grow out of the very rocks. They tower up high, but seem to cling or lean upon the rocky mountain sides. Through these thick trees is our road to the Central Park.LASW 78.1

    Wednesday, September 17.—We have some wind which draws down the canyon. We have to move our little stove several times in the day as the wind changes from one end of the tent to the other. Travelers came by with wagon and men on foot driving sheep. They said there were thirteen hundred in the flock. They have taken up land in the Park and will spend the winter there and feed their sheep.LASW 78.2

    Thursday, September 18.—Two travelers and one horse returning from the Park came by our camp. We gave them bread, as they said they had nothing to eat but squirrels and pork. They brought some fine specimens [of ore] from Willow Creek.LASW 78.3

    Sabbath, September 20.—It became cloudy and snowed very fast, covering the ground and lodging upon the trees. It looks like winter. Here we are just this side of the range in our tent, while the earth is sheeted with snow. We feel deeply our need of the grace of God. Shall I ever learn to be perfectly patient under minor trials? Sunday, September 21.—My husband and myself went up upon a high hill where it was warmed by the rays of the sun, and in full view of the snow-covered mountains we prayed to God for His blessing. 16MS 11, 1873.LASW 78.4
