Not a long ride, nor an exceptionally technical ride (double-track the entire route; watch out for
sand, deep ruts and the ten million death cookies) but enjoyable nonetheless.

What are death cookies?

I also thought that perhaps some of our far flung friends might be interested in seeing what the
Oregon Trail 'really' looks like.

I put all my images on a free hosting site so be prepared to be annoyed by lots of pop-ups and
advertisements. But hey, its 100 megabytes for absolutely free, and I shot about 20+ megabytes of
pics. So I needed some place to stuff them.

And this is the first pass at implementing this particular site so I'm sure I have a few techie
issues here and there.

Anyway, here it is:

Neat! Thanks. But:

"The Bonneville Point Interpretive Center has some monuments, plagues and ^^^^^^^ story boards
describing the history of this historic location."

I'm not sure I want to go there. 🙂

You should see the section where they went through the Cascades. The Barlow trail is still there.
Its VERY technical, and its hard to imagine anyone going through that with a wagon. Of course, their
only other choice was to take the Columbia River, which was really wild back then (before all the
dams that are there now).

Nice job, [censored]. And re the Mormon Crickets, I'll bet your fans don't appreciate that for a couple
months earlier this summer, they averaged about 20 crickets per sq meter on the upper trails, and
each one big as your thumb. Really heavy on Corral's, Scott's, Hard Guy, Fast Guy, et al. If we
lived in the Phillipines, they'd be cookin em up for sure.

I've been riding lower and out of town last 4 weeks or so, and don't know if the "population" has
diminished.

Doubletracks can be cool if you let them be so.
