end of the trail

We took a trip to Oregon City - where I was born - to see the Bound for Oregon exhibit at the End of the Oregon Trail historic site, where we learned about buffalo chips (not for munching).

Those pioneer women were solid I tell you. One woman spent months, walking 2000 miles to an unknown land, feeding and caring for eight kids AND still found the time, while her party slept, to light a candle and write.

That put a smile on my face.

{Here's the rest of the set. And Wordless Wednesday for those who can hold their tongue.)
