A walk through time

On our way back down to Cheyenne, Wyoming from South Dakota (a couple of days after Wall), we made a point to stop outside of Guernsey to see the a part of the Oregon Trail. At that point, carved into stone cliffs, are ruts from the wagon wheels. Standing in the ruts is really surreal - to know that hundreds of pioneers passed through that very spot and made those visual marks still seen over a hundred years later.

It was a COLD and windy, but definitely worth the brief stop. Here are a couple of pics.















Pretty amazing, huh?

that picture of Jackie - she looked like an old trail dog, pointing the way West for your covered wagon.
