Oregon Trail

Dear readers, I am about to tell you about the all famous Oregon trail that happened at my school. Okay, so you should know about the Oregon Trail. For those who do not know about the Oregon Trail, it was pioneers who wanted a try at the west. now back in the olden days, the west was a harsh place. Many pioneers died along the way. Hardships like crossing rivers, rattlesnake nest, cholera, etc. When the pioneers got to Oregon, many people had died. They made camp by forming a wagon circle. Like a circle made out of wagons. They put their live cattle in the circle so that Native Americans and coyotes wouldn't eat the live cattle. Many Native Americans had helped the pioneers. They also said that they must reach Independent Rock by Independent Day. When they did reach Independent Rock, they signed their name on the rock. The names still remain there today. Anyways, when we did the Oregon Trail, we did a little nature trail in our property. The teachers had put pictures of animals along the way to show us the animals we would've saw when we were in the Oregon Trail. We saw many graves along the way, most of them cardboard. There were Hardships like no other hardships like your youngest one getting bitten by rattlesnakes, or you losing your wagon on a rock called Devils' Spine or something.My mom carried the wagon when we lost it though. When we got to Oregon, we got our wagon and started eating all the snacks that we had left on the wagon. Then we started playing games and made dollies and played games, just like the olden days.
Love with all my heart, Misha Temesgen >:>:>:>:>:>:>:>:>:>:>:>:>:>:>
