Dear Rayson:

We are all fine and still going. Not a bit of trouble so far. We just stopped for Billy to take a picture of the snow capped mountains. He will probably send you a print. Yesterday we crossed the Pyramid Range, which took us over the highest point in our trip. We were 8835 feet above sea level and 5000 feet above you in Chicago.

We camped last night at Medicine Bow, they have no camp ground but we camped on the hill among a flock of sheep. The wind blew and it rained quite hard but you would never have known it this morning, the ground was as dry as ever.

Friday we cross the Continental divide. All morning we have gone uphill and down, such a country, I will be glad when we are through it. Poor little Thomas cried all morning, he was so hungry. It is so far between towns. The meals we get at restuarants are terrible. They seem to think because we are tourists we can put up with anything.

1:30 P.M. - We just had dinner here and are ready to start for Wamsutter, just at the foot of the divide. Billy says he thinks we may make the divide by tomorrow. For my part I wish it was all over, I am a little afraid at the last minute. There are some pretty dangerous places.

Well dearest we are ready to start now so will close for this time.
Lovingly,
Edythe.

P.S. - I dreamed of you last night, and surely would like to see you. I miss you so much, but I shouldn't say that. Will try and have more patience,
Love - Edythe.
