July 28, 1853

Thursday July the 28th. Started early this morning to get away from the mosquitoes after eating a good breakfast of fresh fish. Four miles from camp we come to the river again. The road is on a kind of second bluff. Two miles more and we are at the American Falls. These Falls are about 60 ft. Fine place to fish below them. The road here takes the bluff again for three miles from thence to a Rocky pass 4 miles, road still near the river. Two miles from this is a fine creek. One mile beyond this we camped again on the bank of the river. Grass not very good. Drove 20 miles today.
