Today we stopped in Fort Caspar. A couple of bad things happened while we were there. Hubert Koswalski got sick. But when we stopped in Fort Caspar we stocked up on quinine so that we could treat him. We don't know what illness Hubert has but we think it is from either tainted water, or mosquitoes. We think that it is from mosquitoes because he has a high fever and that is one of the symptoms of malaria which is what we treated him for. Hubert's fever isn't really going down but the cold cloths and boiled water are making him feel a lot better. There has been a lot of rain on the trail, and this is making the mosquitoes really bad which is another reason we think that his illness is from the mosquitoes.
