9. Little Muddy Creek.--Water brackish in pools along the creek; tall bunch-grass; sage for fuel. Road runs over a barren section, is rough, and passes one steep hill. 12-1/3. Big Muddy Creek.--The road, with the exception of two or three bad gullies, is good for ten miles; it then follows the Big Muddy bottom, which is flat and boggy. The camp is three miles above the crossing. Some grass; sage for fuel. 14-1/5. Small Branch of the Muddy Creek.--Cross the river in three miles at a bad ford. A mile above camp the grass is good. Road generally good. 19-1/2. On Small Creek.--Road continues up the Muddy 9-1/2 miles to its head. It then ascends to the divide between Bear and Green Rivers, probably 800 feet, in 1-3/5 miles. The descent on the other side is about the same. The road passes many fine springs. At one and two miles back it passes points of hills, where it is very rough. Good grass and sage at camp. 8-9/10. Bear River.--Bad creek to cross near the camp; thence to Bear River Valley the road is good. It then follows down the river, crossing Willow Creek. Good camp, with a large, fine spring. 17. Bear River.--Good road along the river; plenty of wood, water, and grass at all points. Foot of Grant's Mountain.--Road runs along Bear River; at 2-1/2 miles strikes Smith's Fork, a rapid trout stream. The road crosses the lower ford. A few miles farther on is a bad slough, which can be avoided by taking a round on the hills. Cross Thomas's Fork on a bridge, also a slough near it; toll $2.00 for each team and wagon. The road then leaves Bear River Valley, and turns over a very steep hill. Good grass, wood, and water. 12. Bear River.--Road ascends Grant's Mountain 1200 feet in 1-1/2 miles--double teams--then descends again into Bear River Valley at 4-4/5 miles. Good wood, water, and grass. 17-2/5. Indian Creek.--Road crosses eight fine spring branches; camp is on a beautiful trout stream. Good wood, water, and grass. 11. Spring near Bear River.--Road is hilly, crossing two spring branches. Good wood, water, and grass. The camp is on the left and near the road. 11. Bear River.--At 6-7/10 miles the road strikes a large group of springs called "Soda Springs," and here crosses Pine Creek, on the left bank of which is a saleratus lake. Soon after it strikes the main springs, and after crossing another creek the "Steam-boat Spring" may be seen in the bed of the river.
