Dear Journal,
Yippe! Today was John's birthday! It was for sure much better than his last one.
Today we left Deer Island early, we traveled 14 miles to Sauvie Island ("Wapato Island" to them) north of today's Portland, OR. Here we found the ground covered with wild chives. In three more miles, we stopped to visit a Cathlapotle village. We were welcomed and fed, and then purchased wapato and 12 dogs. After the visit, we traveled on to camp near today's Ridgefield, WA.
Gosh, everyday has felt so long and never ending! Maybe that is just my perspective! Anyways John I hope you had a great day [:
