Dear Diary,
We were stuck in the Blue Mountains! We were snowed in. It was only for five days. We died again since we had no food. It didn't really matter. What was funny was that we died again on the way to Fort Walla Walla, since we didn't have enough food. We died three times already! Well, we reached Fort Walla Walla. It was the last fort we will be on till we reach Oregon. So, we used as much money as we could on food. We hunted three times and we were successful twice. Michelle rolled and she was unsuccessful. Nathan hunted and brought back 50 pounds of food. Shireen hunted and brought back 250 pounds of food. We had 1,374 pounds of food. It would last for the rest of the trip! Well, we will leave tomorrow since it is getting late. I'll be going to sleep now! Goodnight!

Dear Diary,
We started leaving today, and we had to make a decision. Either we go up the Cascade Mountains. or we go through the Columbia River. We decided to go through the Columbia River. We didn't care if we died again. We could only fit a thousand pounds in the raft we made out of our wagon. We killed our oxen, and threw away everything except 508 pounds of food, blacksmith tools, tents, water barrel, rope, and our cooking gear. We will leave first thing tomorrow! We are resting here now, and it's getting pretty late. I feel like this is getting a little fun now. Goodnight!
