We had many bad fates, but we also had many good fates. A bad fate was when we went overland to California; the grass was buried in snow, which caused our oxen to die. Another one was when we went to Panama where we got dropped off. Then we took a riverboat to the other side, but we caught yellow fever on the way, and we had to go back to our starting point. A few weeks after, we finally got to California and we caught a bad cold and missed a day of mining. Some good fates were when we found 25 gold nuggets and when we gambled and got 225 gold nuggets. Our team, Golden Touch, survived these fates and the other good and bad ones, and we got rich.
