It isn't often that you get to literally walk in the footsteps (or in this case wagon ruts) of the pioneers, but that is exactly what my dad and I did this year on a trip to western Nebraska. Our travels (1000 miles in 36 hours!!) took us along the same path as the pioneers, where we saw the same landmarks that traced their trails, and at Scotts Bluff National Monument we even walked the rutted path the wagon trains made on their journey west. Can you just imagine what it was like to house all of your worldly possessions in a covered wagon, hoping for a better life - at whoever's definition - on the other side of the country?
Also, side note: Happy Blog-iversary!! I've been writing this blog(sporadically lately, but still) for four years!! Much love to you all for following along as I go from one adventure to the next. Here's to many more years of travelling and sharing to come!
