which took 3-4 hours. After we went down the hill we made it to a place called Ash Hollow, we immediately filled our water barrels to the brim with fresh water. After the one night stay at Ash Hollow, we went back onto the trail for three days, heading towards Courthouse Rock. We stopped there for lunch, I had took a couple notes of the rock; multiple layers of brule clay, coarse sand, and sandstone which was soft, gray sands, volcanic ash, capped off with solid rock. We also had something tragic occur, the Alan Shepard’s daughter that was 12 years old had died from malaria, we couldn't notice any of the symptoms, and she never told us about it. We buried her body in dirt, but I think it's too shallow but we had to continue on.
