Two brothers decide to head west on the Oregon Trail, complete with a wagon and mules. They run into plenty of obstacles, as you might expect, including accidentally crossing into private property and balky mules and wagon breakdowns, but the trip gives author Buck an opportunity to reflect on the original Oregon Trail pioneers and to muse about life in general. A great trip.
