I told the boys I was going to load my ox team with blocks of snow for the valley. We went out and exam- ined the place and cut a road so the teams could get to the mountain. Went on the side of the mountain and found the snow very solid and deep and cut it out in large blocks and landed it down the mountain to the wagons. Loaded two large wagons with blocks, packed as closely as we could get it in. We covered it all over RECOLLECTIONS OF A FORTY-NINER. 81 as close as we could with boughs of fi...r trees, which are very soft, then covered the wagons with large wagon sheets. I told the boys to start for Marysville with the wagons and to get there as soon as possible, traveling night and day, stopping only long enough to graze the oxen. I met the wagons there. They got in a little before night. I was there a little in advance of them and I concluded to take my snow to Sacramento City, which was forty miles. I hired two large spring wagons and loaded the snow in these wagons and started them at sundown for Sacramento City.
