Experienced the real thing in ealy settlers travel. Absolutely recommend it.
Historic Trails West - Day Tours的点评
点评:One of the top experiences in my retired life. A bucket list of my wife Wendy from LHOP (Little House on the Prairie) Morris Carter an avid historian and cowboy lead us through 5 days of the Oregon Trail where almost EVERYTHING was set in the era of the settlers migration experience. We went on the actual trails in a Prairie Schooner (large wagon) traversing multiple terrains from gravel roads, rocky passes to fording streams. Had comfortable cushions to sit on fortunately. Porta potties available for when settling for the evening.
Morris narrated every important part of the 60 miles, and did not lack in knowledge of any questions we had. Another family present with us made for delightful travel and conversations.
Temps range 43 at night to mid 80s at day. Slept in tents and wagon at our choice. MEALS were TOPS (hardy, tasty and filling) made by daily with Dutch ovens (cook: Noela) support crew (Chris & Riley) met up with us every afternoon or evening. Last nights dinner was prime rib steaks, a real treat.
After experiencing this trek, one would wish every person in their youth would get a chance to experience it. Gives you an appreciation for what made America, and all the present day amenities we don't realize.
翻译:这是我退休生活中最难忘的体验之一。这是我的妻子温迪从《草原上的小木屋》剧组那里得到的“愿望清单”。莫里斯·卡特是一位热心的历史爱好者和真正的牛仔,他带领我们进行了为期5天的俄勒冈小径之旅——几乎所有场景都还原了当年拓荒者迁徙时的情景。我们乘坐着大型马车沿着真实的小径前行,穿越了各种地形:碎石路、多石的山口,甚至还要涉水过河。幸运的是,车上还配有舒适的坐垫供我们使用。晚上休息时可以使用移动式厕所。
莫里斯为我们详细讲解了这60英里行程中的各个重要环节,对于我们提出的任何问题也都能从容解答。同行的另一家人也让这段旅程充满了欢乐与趣味的交流。
夜间气温约为43华氏度,白天则可升至80多华氏度。我们可以自由选择睡在帐篷里或马车上。餐食极为出色——由诺拉用荷兰烤锅每日精心烹制,既丰盛又美味可口;克里斯和莱利则作为后勤人员,每天下午或傍晚会与我们会合。昨晚的晚餐是上等肋眼牛排,真是一大享受。
经历过这次徒步之旅后,真希望每个人在年轻时都能有机会体验一番。它让人更加感激造就了美国的那些因素,以及我们平日里习以为常的各种便利设施。
