Oregon Trail

After retracing my steps back to Mount Rushmore to do a bit more touring around, I made my way south to Fort Laramie and pieces of the Oregon Trail including Register Cliff and Oregon Trail Ruts.  Emigrants transversing the Oregon Trail would carve their names in the soft rock - letting those that follow know that they made it this far.  I got a picture below that shows a J.W. Robb of the U.S. Post passed through here in 1857.  At Oregon Trail Ruts, I got to see where the wagon wheels cut through solid rock.  No more complaining here about bad roads.




Perfect site for the night - Guersney State Park...first night of dry camping - no hookups, but plenty of fantastic scenery.
