AUG , 2011;
Applegate-Lassen Trail ride 1846
-History Re-visited.
It's late April 1847; The "jumping off point" is Independence, MS; you're traveling west in a wagon train being pulled by three yoke of Oxen, giving you an average speed of
1.5-mph.
After months
on the trail you arrive at Lassen Meadows in early August,
here you find a painted barrel full of notes and mail
from other travelers next to the trial... You dig in and start reading. Someone writes,
"Last October (1846) the Donner Party had been stranded in the
Sierra mountain snows with a great
loss of life." You all rest for the night, family and
critters, in the morning you have
to make a choice; 1) follow the California (later the Donner Route) Route into
the Sierra's, or 2) Take the Carson Trail south-west across the 40-Mile Desert, or
3) Swing the wagons north-west via the Applegate-Lassen Trail (later to become
known as the "Death Route"). Click for
Applegate web site
Join
us for this adventure back in time.
This is History lesson... we'll sightsee the watering holes they
stopped
at as they trekked across Northern Nevada; see emigrant graffiti carved into
rock walls; and see wagon wheel tracks still visible on the trail today! We
may stumble across a grave of a lady who died in child birth in the 1860s. Like those
before us, we'll have to camp along the way (on the
first night we can stay at a B&B, but reservations need to be made months ahead of time,
if not we camp on the trail). Children are welcome. You'll be
required to bring food, water and additional gas. This is not an off-road
event, but a rolling History Lesson, though you'll need a 4WD to transverse
the trail. Space is limited....

Across Nevada in 1908...
see below
The NEW YORK to PARIS Race
left Time Square in February 1908,
and would finish in Paris in July. Trying to cross the United
States in 1908 wasn't much different than in the 1800's! The roads, for the
most part, were still wagon trails... now covered in snow. In some
areas they would use the railroad tracks! Join us as we re-trace the
route of the winning car across Nevada, a 1907 Thomas Flyer (which is on
display in Reno, NV). Using the drivers notes, we'll make our way west.
Join us for the adventure, should be lots of fun! Space is
limited.... Join us in 2011 as we re-trace the winning
route across Nevada.
