Show 34 OVERLAND ROUTE 9021 passes through the grove. Five miles further is a 5 BROO l{, at the foot of a very long and tedious descent. We found good feed half a mile to right of road, one mile frutu this brook, after ascending the hill. 'rhe ascent is bad. At the above named dbtance is a spring of water on the right of road, and wild sage fo,r fuel, making it a tolerable camping place. From the Brook last named, after leaving the tnountains and cressing two small streams, it iii eleven miles (in all) to 11 THOMA8' FORKOF BEAR RIV-ER. Feed pretty good. Willows plenty. You. ford tho stream three times, after which you encounter a very rocky road. From the above named fork it is six miles to t> BEAR RIVER. Excellent grass. Level and fine road, through at fertile valloy, fur fourteen miles, to · 14 TULICI{'S FORI( OF BEAR RIVER. We traveled six miles out of our 938! TO CALIFORNIA. 35 938~ way to cross. At a litt1e distance from the fork you enter tho mountains.The road over them, is, in many places, bad and steep, both ascending and going down. In one place the road lies between high rocks, where there is barely room for a \\1agon to pass.The country from Tulick's Fork is well \vatered. _.-\fter a very long and steep descent, you reach 8 TI-l~~ RIVEH, and good grass.- The road passes along the river valley, \\7here there is an abundance of feed, a nil cold springs and streams are met with every few miles. Yon leave the bottom, the road winding between the 20 HIGf.J BLUFFS. One mile after the road leaves the bottom, a ravine makes do\vn to the river on the left of road. Near to the river is excellent grass in abundance, q,nd a cold brook, which has its origin in a large spring, near the road. This is a fine place to camp. The road from here runs thro' the high bluffs for three miles, to t~~ 966! |
