"It's fine," said John, "to feel that we are right here where the old men used to travel, and that we've got to travel the way they did. I'm glad I came." "I'm glad, too," said Uncle Dick. "It has been rather hard work, and now I propose to give you a little rest, so the horses can pick up as well as ourselves. There's good grass in the valley on ahead, and we'll go into camp rather early."
