179 an empty wagon even is as much as their teams could get along with. so steep it would take some of the teams all day to cross this plain. here in this hollow we saw some men digging gold, and were doing very well averaging "as they said" $16 a day. not wishing to try our luck at it we started on, and camped about 6 Pm, here we find not much "if any" grass for our animals so are obliged to fell trees that they may eat the leaves etc - this; what the Missourians call Browsing their cattle. distance traveled today 28 miles.
