Hello everyone. We are alive and well. My family is going strong and we have settled down in a small but cheerful cabin about three miles from Hackers Vally. I have not been writing for a while because we are so busy. Let me tell you the story of the last part of our trip.
It was a sunny day as we reached the end of the Cheyenne river trail. Nate Page has been waiting for four days and looks... well... interesting. We were well rested (except Nate Page) so we decided to move along. We were traveling for about three hours until suddenly BOOOM CRAAASSSSHHH a lightening bolt hit a tree near by and it starts pouring rain! It was raining so hard we could not see three feet in front of us. We lost everyone. So we went in our wagon and waited for about two hours until the storm passed. After a while we decided that obviously this storm was not blowing over so we kept going. I mean we had no other choice right? We had to stop after a while. It took a lot of energy. So we ate some bacon and we went to sleep. The next day it was yet again raining. I mean I am not complaining I prefer rain rather than sunny humid weather. So we kept going for about three days until the rain calmed down a little bit. It was still drizzling, but it was better.
We were traveling when we came upon a group of wagons. We rushed to it and saw that it was our wagon train, the one we lost in the storm! We all rejoyced and took a long break.
The next day I woke up before the sunrise. I had a cup of cofee and watched the sky as it turned orange then pink and then blue. We traveled for two weeks when we all finally came to Hackers Valley saftly.
Since then, our wagon train has not exactly split up. We all live about two miles away from each other. On the trail our supplies did run short but luckily we made it. We do not need many supplies now that we have a small cabin. We are going to expand our house next spring and work on a large mansion that will take a while but we are going to hire laborers to help us out.
Thinking back, there are many things I'd do differently if I could do this journey again. If I could do this journey again I would contribute more time into cleaning up my campsite and I would pack more firewood. I would also pack salt. Overall, however, our journey was a success because nobody died and we are all safe and happy. Nate Page went on to become a carpenter while his son took a liking to Dr. Dan and became an intern to his practice. Ruby Bryant became a abbolition and supported women's rights. Juan Hernandez became an outlaw and robs banks in the west. We see him often and he is a good man other than what he does, but he helps the poor by his "earnings". For myself I have became a architect while Kathleen has been running the shop. I have to go now and design our future house.
