My first wife Mary's grandmother, who was the daughter of a Circuit Rider
preacher, kept a journal as a young girl. My wife Mary had that journal
handed down to her. In that journal, she described a trip from the Oregon
Coast to Sister's, Oregon on the eastern slope of the cascades. The trip
was with a team of horses and a buckboard wagon. What we can drive today in
3 hours, took them over 2 months. So, if you are using horses, count me out.
