Answer:

In this article, the journalist(write the name), traveled 8 miles throughout the deep snow and mountains and struggled to survive with very few animals left in the aftermath. They were loosing many men and not even the heaviest pounds of meat and hunting could last their journeys.

Step-by-step explanation:

The whole article explains how rough the journey was on the California trail. Just exaggerate the whole 2 sentences and use great detail without exceeding the limit! :)

Hope this helps!
