They party continued their journey to the north and upon reaching the northern part of the state of CA were joined by William T. Barnes and James M. Lackey and their families.

It was the intention of the party to go straight north to Walla Walla by the Goose Lake route, but owning to Indian troubles, they were compelled to return westward from Alturas and cross the Cascades into the Willamette Valley in OR at Ashland. They traveled north as far as Eugene, OR where they paused for 3wks to rest their horses and wait for the Indian troubles to subside, after which they again traveled eastward over the Cascades into eastern OR and arrived at Walla Walla 10 Sept 1878.
