As we approach The Dalles,we must make a decision. Should we load our wagons and ourselves onto the log rafts, after sending our cattle by land on the Lolo trail? Or should we take the Barlow cut-off, and pay the five dollar per wagon toll? Pa made the decision after holding a conference with the other men. Each family had to do what was best for them -- a few chose the rafts for speed and economy.
I'm so thankful that pa chose the Barlow trail. I'd rather climb ten mountains than ride a raft down a river.
