HANS Bachert watched the covered wagon coming down the deep gutted, muddy road. The horses were straining at the tugs and making slow progress trying to pull the heavily loaded wagon through the Illinois mud that was a foot deep after the spring showers. "Better pull in and rest a spell." Bachert told the family as the wagon pulled up. "Can't spare the time," answered the driver. "Gotta find a campsite before the sun sets. We haven't made many miles today through this mud."
