Wilford leaves for the Salt Lake Valley with the first company of pioneers.
19th we crossed the worse sand Hill Bluff of about one
mile that we have crossed on the journey & what made it still
worse the rain was pouring down upon us continually we travled
about 1/2 mile on the flat & camped untill the rain was over for
the time being we started again at 3 oclok but it soon began to rain
again hard we travled untill 5 oclok & camped for the night on the bank
of the river we travled 8 miles by the wheelometer 8 miles
I rode forward during the day in the rain & picked out the road
we had the most water fall during the day and evening that we
have met with on the whole Journey
