We did the Oregon trail to find a site where a friend's Great Grandparents while in a wagon train were attcked by indians. We found the marker indicating where it happened. It took quite a bit of searching. We saw lots of interesting landscapes along the way. In some spots you could see the ruts where the wagons had travelled. I remember one spot where a low outcropping of granite had two ruts worn in it by so many wagons wheels travelling across it.
It was an adventure made personal because of our friend's search for answers about & connection with her relatives.
