[William Clayton Journal] Much time was lost this morning in hunting for a place to cross the river. It was finally concluded to cross a mile higher up and we proceeded to the place. While going up we saw a company of horsemen and two wagons on the other side of the river, which we soon recognized to be our brethren from Winter quarters.
