April 22, 1847"We are three days west of Independence, camped at Alcove Springs." What a beautiful site! "Water gushes down from the ledge, down ten feet into a pool where there are ferns and deep shade" It feels good to rinse off all the dust from traveling on the trail because the wagon kicks up so much dust that your eyes sting and you end up coughing all day. I must say this is the best water I have ever tasted.
The end. Hattie
