Nov 20, 1879

I spent the day helping to pack up for moving I read a report
the day I dreamed at night of being at home which will be fulfilled

November 21, 1879 ~ Friday

21. We hitched up our team and drove across the valley 4 miles in
8 inches of snow, And drove up a steep rocky Bluff we had 4
waggons 3 yoak of oxen a span of muels & Horses it took
us half a day to get to the top of the Hill 100 yards it was vary steep &
rocky we camped on the bluff for the night 4 Miles

November 22, 1879 ~ Saturday

22 We took breakfast harnessed up and travelled over a vary
rocky and rough country 6 miles then parted with the ox teams
and Br Burk went 3 miles across the country without a road
to Kinekenick Springs which was the sunset sheep heard
ground but the house was not on the road, to day I saw some
300 Antilope two flock had 100 in Each and small flocks
from 10 to 30. I saw more Antilope to day than any day
before in my life, they had Been driven out of the mountains
by a snow storm into the cedars, they were in flock like
a flock of sheep. On our arival we clensed out the
house put up a bedstead, made up our bed unloaded our
waggon. By this time a Messenger arived from sunset and
brought me 6 Letters from Elias Smith, J. Jaques A M Cannon
Julia S Woodruff John P Sorrenson and Ammon M
Tenney which was a vary important one. He had made a
bargin with Mr Barth the Jew, to buy out St John water
and Land for 750 cows to be paid for in one year ie
He had the offer of the place for that sum and was awaiting
my reply to know if he should buy it I was vary weary
