Geocache Description:

Oregon Trail Series:
Mud Springs Creek

Thousands of emigrants crossed
southwestern Idaho between
1843 and 1870 on their way
to the Willamette River valley in Oregon.


Mud Springs was a small spring with limited water and grass. The road changed from being rocky to smooth in this area. It was not a common camping site because of the its close proximity to Canyon Creek. The Kelton Road rejoined the Oregon Trail in this area.
Saturday August 6th ...Have camped near two springs in rather a barren spot. The road all day has been dreadful rough, and I feel glad to get a place to set down and be quiet. We have passed during the last week a great many dead cattle and almost every place we have camped we have found parts or whole waggons. We have been fortunate thus far. Charlotte Emily Stearns Pengra, 1853
