One wagon goes at a time and we wait for 45 minutes for them to get ahead. Its our turn to cross the river. James and Gabe are in the front pulling the oxen while i'm on the side keeping the wagon straight. Gace is sitting on the oxen because we don't want her to fall in the river. We finally make it across the river and we run into a steep hill we must climb. It looks about 100 degrees which is very steep. We have to dump our trunk becuase it was too heavy to carry up the hill and it would make the wagon move too fast down the hill. We took everything out of it and put the stuff in empty bins and buckets we had until we can find a new place to put it. While were walking up the hill, rocks are falling down getting underneath the wheels and causing them to not move. We had to walk slow because the move movement caused stuff to fall down. The wagon was very shaky the whole time going up and some stuff fell off the wagon. Its was hard to walk up becuase we have to hold the wonon up and keep the oxen moving and in line. Going down the hill was very difficult because all your weight in the wagon is getting pushed forward and the wagon moves fast which cause the oxen to
