Dear Journal,
It's now been a year since we've been on our journey. Seems like a long time but it has been fun. Today I had my second birthday since we've been on our trip and it was a good birthday to! Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday dear me, happy birthday to me!
This morning we set out at an early hour, the weather dark and cloudy with a few drops of rain. We proceeded on through the desert country until about 4 o'clock P. M. when we came to a more pleasant part. We had a pretty good day overall day. Traveled twenty-one miles and encamped on the North side. While we were traveling we saw a nice looking bear but we didn't have time to kill it which was unfortunate because it would have been a good dinner!
Like I said it was a pretty good day, we did a lot of traveling and made good progress. I am having a lot of time being with my friends and we've all been working so hard! My birthday was good too just like my last one [:
