woke up several times during the night and it was storming very bad.  We were supposed to get a pullman but one of the conductors took our ticket when he got off so we couldn't get our pullman.  Tho didn't mind & slept good in the Coach.  train was two & a half hrs. late so we got to Denver about 1100 PM.  As we came into Denver the Rockies were a thrilling sight.  I had a grand trip all the way out.  Spent five out of the six dollars for rations.  Met some more fellows and then we were taken out to the field in a G.I. truck.  I was interviewed and attached to the 365th School Sq.  Drew bedding and got in a small room with three corporals, some luck. They are very nice fellows.  Had supper in a 6,000 man mess hall and then visited the day room.  No mattress so & slept on my comforter.  Bed 2000 M.
