Today while we were at the topographer’s camp, Dreamer Dan became ill. We took him to the hospital where he was diagnosed with an illness that he almost certainly had when he left home. I called his mother and she agreed he should return to Boston. I hated to tell Dan that he had to return home, but to my relief, he told me he wanted to go home. I told him even if he is not on the trail with us physically, he certainly can be in spirit and we expect him to go all the way to Oregon.
