One of the things I've wanted to see, after reading books about the pioneers who traveled west in wagons, was the actual ruts that are still visible in many places along the various trails. Suzanne and I went out to the Oregon Trail and we walked in the ruts which gives one a lot of respect for the stamina of the people who walked there, especially as you look out over the valley and see the high mountains in the distance to the west. Of course, my brother's comment was, "How can you be sure the ruts weren't made by the trucks of the men who put up the power lines?".
