Mormon History, Aug 20, 1847. Friday.

[William Clayton Journal] Morning very cold. Started out at 7 and traveled til 12 1/2, the day being cool then rested and waited an hour. At half past 1 proceeded again and arrived at "Cache" or "Reddings" Cave at 5 o'clock having travelled 20 1/2 miles, but it was near 7 o'clock before the company arrived.
