April 24th, 1847 Dear Diary, My family has been on the Oregon Trail for two weeks. Right now we are camped by the banks of the Blue River waiting to ford its raging rapids. Our caravan must then cross the Great Plains and face the difficult terrain of the Rocky Mountains. I must go now to cook my children a breakfast of slam johns and sowbelly. -Jenny Miller Remember to check out fun pictures of all that has been happening on Seesaw! Have a beautiful spring weekend and fantastic week!
