[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 22d We travled 8 miles to day on Ogdens fork/ Canyon Creek/ whare the Pratts Pass leaves the fork for good & turnes to the west. We crossed the creek eleven times in going 8 miles & the worst 8 miles we have had on the journey.
Br Case smashed one of his hind waggon wheels to peaces & we had to wait 2 hours to bring his oxen up & continued the Journey a rowing the [ ] on a pole. I caught 2 trout in the creek while waiting. The sick stood the Journey better than we espected considering the road.
