[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 5th In company with Br's O. Pratt, H. C. Kimball, P. Rockwell, J M. Grant, Eldridge, [ ] and others. I went in search of a new ferry. We travled down the Mo River 5 miles. On the bluff saw many Hops Elder buries & grapes, two deer, & killed one Turkey. We took with us A leather boat. Crossed the River with 7 persons in it & there met a committee from Council point who was upon the same business. This Committee was Composed of Bishop Morley, Harris, Miller, Richards & others. Some returned with us. We saw about 200 Brant in the river as we crossed.
Several of us spent some time in picking grapes. We got about 2 bushels. Made A Bridge across A creek And started for home. While on the way we met some wolves in the road but they left before we got near enough to shot them. We arived home about 9 oclok at night. 15 miles.
