Ogden UT to Evanston WY, May 29
"...I reached Echo City, a railroad settlement of about 200 persons, and, after eating, pushed right on toward Evanston...I knew about the Pulpit Rock from which Brigham Young delivered a Sunday sermon during the pilgrimage of the Mormons to their settlement at Salt Lake City, and I had a glance at it as I rode away from Echo City."
Waypoint Today: A lot of the American history of the western settlement passed by this
point and along this route.
