The Road to Oregon

[JimFox]

Well, actually the Oregon Trail!

While taking the grandkids up to camp in the Tetons we stopped by this area where the Oregon Trail is still seen. It's a really cool thing to see that after all these years the trail is still seen and used.

All comments are welcome,

Jim

Gosh - those wagon ruts almost look just like tire tracks

Can you imagine how boring the trail going across Wyoming would be at the pace of a wagon? I get tired of it at 70mph.

 

[Ben Egbert]

Cool shot.

 

[Jameel Hyder]

Those clouds balance the image. Nice.

 

[Carlo Didier]

Iconic!

Those are radial wagon wheels I believe. Jump on the trail, and give me a ring when you get to the end, we’ll go have a beer and drain some camera batteries

Ha ha... I am the odd sort, I love boring places like this. Perhaps at the speed of 15 miles a day I could have enjoyed it?

be careful you don't die of dysentery. that always sucked when it happened to me.
the curve of the trail helps break up the flatness of the land.
