Monday, May 31st, 1915 A long day from 4 o'clock this morning at midnight and not to bed for some time yet as we are just in from Etah leaving then about 11 o'Clock. Everything had to be tramped very over the hill so it took us same time, 2 snow-shoes to wig through the valley and across the land where I came look up toward Casefatherlow before I was overtaken by two-car, two-man and lady-king-walk. It was so warm when leaving Etah that I gave the boys each a new pair of blue pants with which they were delighted. But before we got to Carakol, they were nearly the color of their pants with cold. The ice was very thin so we broke through in several places. Just this side of Casefatherlow two-car-fairy-walk made a real furnishing ford.
