Jennifer: We are in Rawlins, Wyoming and have been on the wagon for hours. Dad has been telling Jason and I stories about when our great great great grandparents went on this journey. Amy has been really quiet, which is unlike her. I think it’s because of the argument with mom. Still, I see her quietly listening to dad. He told us the names of our great great great grandparents. He told us that they went to Oregon because they were farmers and they heard about the land in Oregon being great for farming. My great great great grandmother’s name was Emily and my great great great grandfather's name was Lewis. Emily and Lewis took the same route we’re taking about 108 years ago in 1836. They were one of the first migrants to leave for Oregon.
