It has been another four weeks since I last wrote in this book. After Fort Hall we then left for Fort Boise, but we first had to cross the Three Island Crossing. When we got to the crossing, we had to manage to get across the Snake River. We didn't want to waste anymore money so we decided to let the animals swim across and have the wagon float across. That took way longer than needed, and we did have a little scare when Carol went underwater to “hide from us” and she didn't com back up for almost five minutes. She went unconscious for about an hour, but other than that it was an easy crossing. After about two hours of trying to get across the river we started on our way again. After leaving the crossing it took about six more days
