Oregon Trail Day 6 - Fictional Travel Log

What did we get ourselves into?! We decided to cross the craziest river on the face of the Earth! We had to take our wild oxen across, while a complete stranger took our wagons across. This made me nervous because some nitwits decided to pop their blisters on their feet. Their feet got infected, and the infections kept spreading to the point where their whole leg may have to be amputated! That would be a huge loss for us, because we would probably have to take all of our belongings out of the wagons to let them in. While we were dragging our oxen across the raging river, one of our oxen completely freaked out. It charged at Tyler Smith and trampled him, leaving him almost dead! Tyler now has to ride in the wagon for weeks to recover. While this madman was taking our precious wagons across, he tipped a couple of them over, and we lost a ton of our stuff! To make this whole situation even worse, everybody has been getting unbelievably homesick, which has been preventing them from getting a single wink of sleep! Everybody has been miserably tired and some are even sick or injured. Luckily, we have a nice, long stop ahead at beautiful Alcove Springs. They have fresh water, and lots and lots of space for us to rest. We are going to be staying at this paradise as long as we can before we have to continue on our journey.
