Today was by far the greatest day on the trail. We stopped for a day at the alcove spring and actually had good food. These foods were berries that we picked, a rabbit stew with potatoes and other vegetables that I hunted with a few other early birds this morning, and we even had an apple cobbler for desert! They were so amazing that we decided to say for a few extra days. This will be a very nice break for all of the animals because they had obviously been over worked ,and they got some rest under a amazingly pretty cherry tree. The animals and the others got our belly's full. The day also included games that we do not often get to do any more. I went horse back racing and played checkers with Wu ji wu, another part of our wagon train. With all of this fun we also had to do some chores like washing close, and making the wagons look spiffy. The next few days I went hunting for so pelts and got my groups wagon a bit more organized. I wish that we could stay here and just eat amazing food, play games, and hunt game

- The food you are eating that is great (and what's not-so-great).
- The chores you have to do both on the Oregon Trail and while staying at Alcove Spring.
- The importance of resting your animals.
