We stopped at Philip Foster's Farm last night, after a five hour journey from Laurel Hill Pass. Mr. Foster was hospitable and generous. We ate well at dinner last night, and camped in his pasture.Today we began the last leg of our epic journey. Our father kept a journal on his first trip to Oregon Territory, two years ago. It will be over a hundred miles to reach our homestead on the Willamette River - another ten days if we have no breakdowns.

It is already September. We don't have any time to waste, if we want to be in our own cabin before the snows arrive.
