27 April 1847
I have decided that I am walking to Oregon and I don't care how far it is! The wagon is so crowded that it is impossible to get comfortable with all the bumping, jolting, and rattling. I picked up my skirt and jumped to the ground. I ran between the wagons and saw Pepper sitting up with her Pa. She leapt down and we walked together talking for hours. We made plans for once we reach Oregon. We want to have houses built by each other and share a garden. The dust and the tall grass burrs finally got to us and we climbed back into the shade of the wagon. Not much room for the two of us!
