Jan 17, 1847 Mr. Foster and the women gave out, their feet being swollen to such a degree that they could go no further. Mr. Eddy, who it appears stood the fatigue of the journey better than any of them, here left them; and assisted by two Indians, that evening reached the settlement on Bear Creek. The inhabitants, on being informed of the situation of the party behind, immediately started with provisions on foot, and reached them that night about twelve o’clock.

Jan 15, 1847 "Fine clear day wind W. Murphy blind. Lanth not able to get wood. Looks like another storm, expecting some account from Suiters soon." Seventeen miles from present Lake of the Pines would have brought the Snowshoe Party to Johnson’s Ranch. They probably re-joined the wagon road about twenty-five miles west of the North Fork of the American.

Jan 13, 1847 On the following morning they staggered forward, and toward the close of the day, ... they arrived at an Indian village, which in this country is called a rancheria. The Indians seemed to be overwhelmed with the sight of their miseries. ... As soon as the first brief burst of feeling had subsided, all united in administering to their wants. One hurried here, and another hurried there, all sobbing and weeping, to obtain their stores of acorns. donnerpartydiary.com/jan47.htm
