WEDNESDAY 14th
At 12 0 Clock got underway, but the roads were So very bad that we moved very Slowly. frequently the Oxon were up to their knees in Mud. at 3 0 Clock P.M. reached the edge of the Planes. knowing that we would have to Spend the night where there was no wood we cut Some and threw it on the wagon to cook our Evening Meal. At Sundown we pitched our tent on the Plains 5 Miles distant from the Oregon tent. Feed for the Cattle very Scars. Saw to day a large quantity of game, including a large drove of Antelope . Shot one large duck. Many Miners where returning to Stockton, they informed us that the roads were very bad further on almost impassable. but we made up our Minds to keep going till we could go no further and then Stop.
