April 14 To near Victor Idaho
We left Birchers quite early and
Kept on down the Canyon. The
night was clear. The snow at
Birchers and for several mile
below was several feet deep
but as we descended the road
became bare in places, and
for the last few miles we had
to pull the sleds over mud
we reached The Stevens ranch
about 1 o'clock. Then the boys
went to change from sleds to
wagons. After dinner we changed
the loads, lifting the wagon bodies
loads, and all with a derrick
and putting them on the wheels.
It was sunburn when we
finished.

followed the road which was
mostly dry and a place dirty

from St Anthony. Then we
had dinner, and gave the
horses and elk a feed. Then
we left the road again and
