Good morning, This week I was describing to someone that the ruts of wagon wheels can be seen etched into soft stone in the Roaring Fork Valley near Aspen. It got me recalling stories about the Oregon Trail and our family trips to visit parts of that trail. It is difficult in these days of Interstate Highways, rest stops and drive-through Starbucks to appreciate quite what the settlers had to overcome to get to California and Oregon—yet we can get a taste.
