on through the Wilderness, up the Pine
Creek until about one, when we turn-

we prepared our Dinner, there being
plenty of fine grass on the bottoms
near Sd Creek, about 2 OClock we startd

pitched Camp, and prepared for
a Nights Lodging in the Woods, we
put forks in the Ground, and with
our Waggon Cover, made a pretty
good Tent, then after taking some
Chocolate went to Bed, tho our lodg-

on the trees we came 15 miles

a Clear Cool Morn-

travelled till 8 then stoped and got

to tell how often we have Crossed
Pine Creek since we first came on
its waters, but now being up the third
fork we expect shortly to leave it. ½ past
9 set out again, I mounted one of
the Horses having the Bed for a saddle
