[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 19th We crossed the worst sand Hill Bluff of about one mile that we have crossed on the journey & what made it still worse the rain was pouring down upon us continually. We travled about 1/2 mile on the flat & camped untill the rain was over for the time being. We started again at 3 oclok but it soon began to rain again hard. We travled untill 5 oclok & Camped for the night on the bank of the river. We travled 8 miles by the wheelometer. 8 miles.
I rode forward during the day in the rain & picked out the road. We had the most water fall during the day and evening that we have met with on the whole Journey.
