Site 20, Forest Trail Skirts Around Owl Creek Canyon

Thursday, March 25th, 1880. "During the past 5 days we have worked on the road and moved our wagons along 13 miles over the worst muddy and snowy road we have had, the mud and snow being from 6 inches to 2 ft deep. We are still in the thick cedars and have lost a part of our horses through there being no feed nearby for them."
