August 19th, 1859 -- This morning we parted company with the five teams that have been travelling with us for some time. They together with a large drove of cattle and some 30 other teams are all going in the Honey Lake Route. We only travelled about 12 miles and then laid over in good feed to give the cattle a chance to rest.Powell
Travelled 10 miles. Our company split this morning. Owens and our company struck down the river. We are laying over this afternoon. We have plenty of grass and mosquetoes.
