10.30 Left Spruce Hotel this morning. Cold drive through the mountains. Stayed the night at Wyoming, Mrs Ross camp. Nice old soul, gave me a pot of jam and cream, was very good to us. It was the coldest night I have ever felt. We did not have sufficient bed clothes and I had the windows open all night. We were almost frozen. 1 ¼ dollars for the 3.
