[Hosea Stout Diary] Friday July 28th 1848. Hard rain & hail in the night. We all made a general drive and brought in all the cattle at once and went on assending a hill of mile up where we had a fine view of the surrounding country & now about opposite to Larimie Peak which is to the left towering above the clouds.
We travelled 4 miles and stoped on a small creek where there is but little watter but good grass. Heber came in sight while we were on the hill. & Brigham passed on mile beyond us to night.
This evening we saw and had a hard chace after a buffalo for several miles but could not get near to it before dark.
The country to the left is very mountainous.
