Dear Journal‚it took us a bit longer to reach the South Pass. It’s been hotter than hell‚ and I feel like I’ve lost my weight in sweat. The tires are so thin and the trail is so sandy that we get almost no traction. The continental divide was a neat landmark. I hadn’t known about it until the book told us.

Journal Entry Number 1‚ It wasn’t until we arrived at the funeral that it finally sank in. The emotions hit me like a tractor-trailer hitting a squirrel on the highway. The stabbing pain in my heart and the cloudiness of my vision caused by tears just made me weep harder. I observed my mom standing by the casket‚ looking at your lifeless body‚ staring into eternity. She appeared there physically‚ but you could tell her mind raced elsewhere as an unsettling darkness nestled in her eyes. At the
