A cold, rainy morning kept the pioneers in camp until eleven the morning of May 28, 1847. While waiting here near Scottsbluff, some in camp played cards or dominoes and that didn't sit well with the leaders.

Heber C. Kimball:

"I TOLD THEM MY MIND ABOUT SUCH THINGS AND TOLD THEM MY DISAPPROBATION IN LANGUAGE NOT TO BE MISUNDERSTOOD."

Once the rain stopped they continued their journey, crossing a small creek.

Wilford Woodruff:

"THIS IS THE FIRST STREAM I HAVE MET WITH CONTAINING TROUT SINCE I LEFT THE NEW ENGLAND STATES. THEREFORE I NAME IT 'TROUT CREEK.'"

The pioneers traveled 11 1/2 miles this day, forming their encampment for the night near today's town of Morrill, Nebraska.
