My experience on the trail has been full of ups and downs. The trail that has been set for us has been very dry. The grass has turned to mud and the mud has dried and made a hard, dusty path for the wagon train. The prairie next to the trail has been sharp, but plentiful of fruits and berries. For my dinner provisions, I eat some dried fruit, meat, and had a glass of water. For breakfast, I have bacon and dried fruit. I usually drink about two to three glasses of water a day. If we have spare time, we play cards with the set that Nate Page brought. I planned for just enough supplies, except for firewood.
The prairie is mostly flat, with a few bushes here and there. There are animals running around such as bisons, and prairie dogs are jumping and running. The path that I am on has potable water that we can drink and the animals around us can drink too. The grass is a faded green from all the animals that have run on it, and the rolling hills look beautiful in the sunset. The whole sight is just magnificent.
There has been many fates on this journey. First, as I already mentioned, I did not have enough firewood so I was scrambling to find some. Next, Ruby Bryant fell into the fire and burned her hands. She was calmly cooking dinner and had to get the salt from her wagon, tripped over a rock right into the fire! It was a horrid sight. I forgot my rifle at my home and was forced to fight the bears by throwing my knife at them and running to the water where I could swim to safety. Eventually I went back to my wagon and headed off with everyone else. My wagon train handled all the problems with ease and were calm when they figured out the solution. I just wish that I had brought my rifle instead of going through that ordeal. I feel great about this trip. I am usually positive and I feed the little children in our wagon train. If I ever get down, I just think about the new, fresh, enormous farm lands in the West, and that cheers me up.
Howdy Juan Hernandez, it's Dr.Dan. I do have to agree the prairie is very dry, with some berries and fruits along the way. I felt horrid for pore Ruby. She was only cooking and then all of the sudden she trips over a stone, and lands right into the fire! I like how you thought of the positives. I hope there will be many more to come.
ReplyDeleteits nice to see an observer. I find the animals too, on the prairie to be quiet funny and indigenous. Im am happy that we took the cheyyene river trail so we will have much more water!
ReplyDeleteHi Juan Hernandez, It's Ruby Bryant. I'm very glad too, to take the Cheyenne River trial, because it's safer and has a bunch of water for us to drink. My hand have healed from the burns. So we we hopefully have a safe journey back!
