Day 5
8:30 a.m. - Entered Colorado Territory and saw the “Great American Desert” for 300 miles. No Trading Posts, no Native Americans, we are very thirsty for water, we are going to die!!
2:08 p.m. - Arrived at Bent’s Fort...crawled to the Fort for water and food. Trail Boss John could not ring the Fort’s bell, too tired and weak.
6:00 p.m. - Went to Carmen’s for rations. Celebrated Doc’s Birthday. We asked, ”How old Doc?” And he replied, “Dirt!”
8:40 p.m. - Made our way to Camp Bent’s Fort Inn. Trail Boss John's Cami & Kay's rooms are haunted. We keep hearing voices, and our room doors will only open half way. Trail Boss John so scared sleeps in wagon last night.
Day 6
8:00 a.m. - Left Camp Bent’s Fort Inn for the Republic of Texas!!!
