Entry 13
The risky gamble paid off. The grade was taken, though not without losses. Overall, the losses were minimal, but to those closest to the situations, I am sure they would not view it as minimal.
The column is currently halted in tall grass on high ground where it is soft, but nowhere near as muddy or as rough going as it has been.
From this vantage point, I am able to see flashes high in the mountain range Ror of us. That likely means storms which will make the River of Tears crossing two days from now as deadly as ever.
There is no choice, it will be crossed to reach our wintering lands.
All stock are to be tended, fed, and rested. Check the harnesses and wagons front to back, bottom to top and make sure they are fit enough for the challenge ahead.
NO exterior fires or lamps. Keep them all inside the wagons. On the high ground, we could be see a long distance away.
I am aware of injuries, but have no details. I will leave such to the Healers Log.
