[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 21st We set the tire on one wheel of Fowlers waggon. We remained in camp to day in Consequence of sickness. Brs Kimball Benson & Lorenzo Young went through the Canion of Ogdens fork which is the name of the Creek we camped on. The rout we are taking is [Reeds?] Pass which we have named Pratts Pass in consequence of his going on to make the road.
It is A Hot day. The report is we have a rougher road on ahead than any thing we have met with. The country is vary mountainous rough & steep. Many of the springs we meet with on the way are saltish or mineral. The Stream we are on [is] Ogdens fork. In the Afternoon I waided the creek two miles & fished with the fly down to the mouth of the canion & caught 8 trout. Thare is none vary large in this part of the stream. 1/4 of a lb was as large as we caught.
