                                  Dear Diary,

  You know, about the decision our wagon company made two days ago? It turned out that it wasn't so bad after all. We only waited two days. Now, we can cross. We walked across the river and made it to the other side safely. I was happy. I knew we wouldn't end our journey here and drown. We would make it all the way to California. The other wagon companies who decided to wait, also waited only two days. The wagon companies that decided to float their wagons, made it across, but both companies had three people who weren't strong enough to cross the river. They lost some health. So we continued our journey. Now it is getting late. We are all getting ready for bed and I think I should be getting ready too. Well goodbye, for now.

                                    Dear Diary,

  We have traveled 140 miles so far, and it took us 14 days. We are really tired. But then, something very unexpected happened. Clouds came in fast. It didn't look pretty. They were all black. It started raining in seconds. We were facing harsh wind. After that, hail came. Not just small chunks you would find falling at your home. Enormous chunks of hail, the size of baseballs flew straight at us. We decided to go under the wagon for safety. I felt a little scared. The storm passed and we moved on until we found fort Larmie. We rushed to get there. I felt happy that we were at a safe fort. Well, food was still double the price, so we hunted. Shireen hunted and she brought back 300 pounds of food back! It is getting late now. Well, once again I have to sleep so, good night!
