I cannot imagine nor have I ever, about all that you've been through. Before I came across this site, I had no idea these places existed. I think we all in general have our hardships in life but this is unbelievable. Please continue writing, publish this too; the world needs to see what these people did. Also, what ever happened to this camp and the people who worked there? Were they exposed and punished? Plus, what happened with John & Eddie? You HAVE to fill us in! Thanks for sharing your story, you already make me want to be a better person and to not take brushing my teeth daily for granted. I can't imagine how hard it was for you to endure all this especially so young and alone; I don't know how any of those kids did. Thanks again and always remember Karma.

Right now you are <b>63 days #47</b> otherwise when I get a chance to read again I get lost on where to begin again! LOL! I totally agree that when Murdock is gone the kids actually can be "kids". Well, as much as they can be in the wilderness. I have you bookmarked in my favorites and always update the title.

Since I read your entries I have been talking to everyone I know about the camp and what you went through. It is truly amazing. Made me want to go home and hug my son even tighter. I hope your going to post again very soon. People like you are what makes this world a better place to live. :-) I started reading last week, I read all your entires in one day, needless to say I didn’t get a THING done at work, but what I gained from your story was more than I could have gained spending 8 hours working.

It seems like our ward would sing it every other Sunday. Sometimes, at work, when I start dragging along, I sing that song, to myself, to keep me going. My great, great, great grandma, on my dads side, pushed one of those handcarts from Nauvoo to Utah, after Joseph Smith was killed and the Mormons had to get out. I remember that song!

I don't get how you're supposed to get on with just oats, rice & lentils for days on end...what's the logic in that? One girl had asthma and was wheezing... where was her inhaler, I wondered? Then there was this little kid who was obviously carrying too much and he kept falling down in the snow. They had to march in a blizzard! As I watched the show all I could think about was all the entries I read in your journal.
