We Hit the Trail SEPTEMBER 8, 1945 Gold! Gold! Gold! The sun was shining brightly as we hit the trail. Many tenderfeet who were unaccustomed to our vehicles searched intently for a ladder. Wagon Master Kinder interviewed many green prospectors who fell out of line, and he briefed them on the purpose of our trip. The day became cloudy toward noon for some bewildered travellers who were tempted to encamp until they found their bearings. SEPTEMBER 30, 1945 Everyone is now accustomed to our covered wagons, although Trapper Kenney has discovered some adventure-seekers slipping behind the train and trying some new trails. OCTOBER 20, 1945 There had been no accidents until today when Phyl D'Entremont's wagon wheel fell off, and Nurse English had to repair the damage. NOVEMBER 13, 1945 Our first snowfall detained us for one day. When the sun appeared the next morning, everyone wanted to experiment with snowballs, but Wagon Master Kinder issued a proclamation that no further time could be wasted, for we must continue on our journey to stake our claims. TJECEMBER 5. 1945 We have made very good time since we have had very little trouble with the lndians. Sharpshooter Fisher has been successful in protecting the train from attacks. DECEMBER 25, 1945 Everyone is making plans for Christmas, and carols are floating throughout the wagon train. Chief Prospector Bair is planning to have a party on Christmas Eve while we are encamped. Gold Surveyor Fulton will have charge of the music and song feats. LIANUARY 4, 1946 We have covered 1,945 miles up to date. The Yigilanles, liupiec and Ball, have kept track of the number of hours we have been delayed during these months. We have added some new members to our trek since we started. and they have been amared at the spirit which always prevails. lfirst l'rospevlor, JEAN CONNOLLY Page Six
