Show Interest Human Contest Again Observe Underway days inarch, on Oct. was one of the longest and hardest, and one of the most difficult to show on a small-sca-le map. But It took the travelers to another settleof these Interesting ment Bearded L'tus. In Escalantes diary, he shows that the Spaniards went a short distance east ofSctpto, always looking for the pass that would let them through the mountains so that they could hurry on to Monterrey. When the travelers got as far as Sclplo lake the Friars could see that they were headed In the wrong direction so they backtracked. This accounts for the blunt, short mark on their trail on the east of Sclplo. They then turned southwestward and followed about where present Highway 01 goes up overSclpto Pass and downhill on the other side of the pass. This day, October 1st and the following day, October 2nd, as well as the point on the map need to be remembered for here Is where the Dominquez Escalante explorers came Into this big valley, Melras record as well as Escalantes diary tell of the Increasingly desperate search for drinking water for men and animals. On Oct. l.entryof Escalantes diary he concluded that the days march had been one of the longest and hardest andone of the most difficult to showon a small scale map. But U took the travelers to another settlement of those Interesting Bearded Utes, where they had new and exciting experiences. Retracing their previous days trek a short distance north, they traveled by a circuitous route but generally west, over rough and stony country and along a dry Next 1, arroyo. On this days wandering was the day they came closest to Deseret. They were probably both south and east of Oasis and very likely did not reach the Sevier River. They turned south, probably going past Pahvant Butte on the west side. Apparently they did not touch Clear Lake Spring because they do not merttongett-ln-g suitable waler for themselves or their animals until further south. The Beaver River at that time emptied Into the swamps and sloughs and Into eventually discharged Sevier Lake along with the Sevier River. Even though Clear Lake was settled In our time, and now Is a bird refuge, most of this area has not been altered very tn the almost -t- wo -hmuch undred-years since the Spanish Fathers passed this way. Melra shows Sevier Lake and It Is named for himself on his map. However, like many other geographical features of the country. It Is marked In though his infop-mInn was second-hande-d and a language existed, at that. Pahvant Butte can be distinguished and the Cricket Mountains are clearly shown. Mention Is also made of the pass between our Pahvant Valley and the Milford Valley, also that the quality of water and forage Improved as they went south, due to the Beaver River. Always, they were .ryli-- to find a path to thetr right which would brlrg them to Calif. Remember always, with their astrolabe they could determine their distance with reasonable accuracy north or aoulh of the point they started from but east-we- st ulrectlons had to be by dead reckoning, based on their estimate of how far east or west Ihey traveled each day. Their fellow countrymen who followed 23 or so years later, covered somewhat the same territory and they did make a trail to Calif, which was used for slave and horse traffic until well after the settled the Mormons The extension of country. Escalante's Trail by Ms fellow Countrymen became known as Highway 91 today, and the Unton Pacific Railroad rout follows somewhat the same route. at well-travel- ed Thus, the early Indian Trails became Explorers trails, then emigrant trails or roads and finally II. a railroads and super highways of today. Now, to go luck to our friends snd our story of earlier days, wlnlor Was coming and snows and rold weather plagued them although It was OrtoIxT. Food was scare and the weather and other conditions made them very discouraged. They had now reached the poll where water fit to drink for the men or horses was scarce Indeed, Yet, they were meeting Indians who, through the Interpreter, understood the Friars' preaching of Christianity, Escalante did not neglect Ihe oppor- tunities calling. to exercise Ms prlertly "W wrote He preached the Gospel ths them as well as the Interpreter could explain tt to them. He told the Yulas and Ihe long Beards wherever and whenever he met them that If they wished J to accept Christianity he and Dominquez would return with more fathers, so that all the Yutas could be Instructed, like the Lagunas who were already awaiting religious Now for three days the route ran east of and parallel to Cricket Mountains, and converged wUh the line of the Union Pacific Railroad. Leaving El CerrUlo on October 3, they made many turns because they were surrounded by marshes, so they crossed a river which apparently disappeared In bogs and lakes. This was the Beaver River. The ford was miry, and In tt the horse whlcn Andres the Interpreter was riding stumbled and threw him head over heels Into the water giving him a hard blow on Ms cheek not to mention the teachers. So Impressed were all of the Indians the Spaniards met along their trails that these white men would return again, that the promised revisit became a legend of the Indians. Remember this was October 1776. Indians the length and breadth of the Groat Basin area kept the promise alive, kept the legend repeated from parents to children. Escalante did not come back. The white men who did come back and preached about Cod were Mormons. On Oct, 2, Escalante and his caravan set forth toward the because the marshes and lakes would not permit them to travel south "which was the direct route to the pass through which we were to leave the plain. Having traveled three leagues they halted at El CerrUlo, a small hill surrounded by marshes with plentiful pasturage but only salty water. ( and that, In Oct. 1776!) Camp was of the site of Clear Lake. scare. From here they traveled six leagues south by west over good and level terrain, and arrived at an arroyo which at a distance appeared to have plenty of water, but they found only some pools In which tt was difficult for the animals to drink. However, because of the pasturage they camped here for the night. Camp was about 25 miles due west of the town of Fillmore and In the vlslntty of Borden on the Union Pacific RaUroad. Sevier Lake, beyond Cricket Mountains, was west of their line of march that day. south-southea- st, east-southe- Shakespearean Festival Completes The Utah Shakespearean has completed Us tenth and most successful season with attendance reaching an all-tihigh of 10,675 for the 21 performances of the three Festival productions.
