Interesting day. Finally found my garbage can intime for snow. Found round glass eye cup, a two compartment Russian gun oil can and arounded cleaver for the trip, all small and inexpensive. I know, I know, eventually items must be deleted. Found 1 or 2 ideas to add to Journal #3. Studied US Camel Corp will need it it in Jake Sunday. Prairie Ranger: We took our Horses across on the barge. We had to blindfold the thoroughbreds as the lapping water made them uneasy. The carriage horses and my horse were fine as long as we held them and talked to them. I was given the LeMat revolver, with a belt with 2 pockets for extra cylinders and a holster, in order to protect the horses and the women in that order. Morgan
