[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 28th + At 6 1/2 A.M. Bar. stood at 27.968 Attached Ther. 59° detached Ther. 60 wind N.N.E. Fair. A Plesant morning. 16 miles from the Platt River on Plain Creek. We travled to grand Island & camped on its banks for nooning.
I went out with the Hunters. Caught Nothing but one wolf & a goose. In the Afternoon we travled 6 miles & camped on Wood Creek. Formed a circle put our Horses inside & had good defense. We saw many deer in the afternoon run across on the Island. President Young thought it not prudent to travel up the Island Hunting lest we get into an Indian Ambush. 15 m.
