Crossing a River

Today we had to stop because we came to a large river. It seems pretty deep, so we will have to build a raft for our wagon to cross on. The men went up and downt the river to see if there was a better place to cross, and it doesnt seem like there is. I guess we will get to stay put for a few days while we do this. It is a good chance for us to do some washing. I will be anxious for the raft to be done and us to get across safely, as that seems pretty dangerous...how exciting!!
