Getting to Golden Gulch
Getting to Golden Gulch was extremely difficult and had its consequences. On our first attempt, we took the land route. We had to turn around because our oxen had little grass and starved to death. This was because we had left in early March. On our second attempt we sailed aboard the Golden Princess around Cape Horn. It took us so long that we didn’t get a bonus for getting there early. It cost us 84 gold nuggets just to get to California. I thought this price was outrageous! Despite all the consequences, such as being thrashed around wildly while going around Cape Horn, or walking many miles to get back home, we got a good claim in Golden Gulch. Getting to Golden Gulch was difficult, but i think my team will eventually strike it rich!
