Late December 1864: some are camping and dying on the east side of the mountains, some have gone over the summit and are lost in a river canyon arguing about who should be eaten first. Alternately mad at them and trying not to cry.

You know what, maybe it’s going to be okay. They’ve abandoned the idea of going over the Sierra Nevada and making camp. Go on into Reno, get you some hand warmers, balaclavas, stock up on meat and Mountain Home dehydrated meals, get you a JetBoil. One of those foil emergency blankets and a real first aid kit, the kind with a suture kit. I think you’re going to need it.

It’s Aug 25, they’ve just come out of the Wasatch, OMG people, the pedal on the right! It’s not looking good, y’all better look for a Hampton or a long stay and try again next spring, this isn’t safe.

They’ve just left Missouri 3 weeks late, and I’m thinking about how I shudder leaving Boise heading for Reno in January in a Ford Explorer with 4WD, snow chains, a shovel, GoreTex, a cell phone, OnStar, and giving Donner Pass very wide berth. The innocence! I am already stress eating.
