"I came away with the feeling that our trek mirrored the trails of old in many more ways than a person might expect. Science and technology have progressed in great leaps and bounds but I wonder if human nature has seen the same changes.

We were able to keep our wagons on the ground the whole distance, staying as close to the original trail as possible and in this day and age that is quite an accomplishment. We may have made the last trip in a covered wagon that will ever be made on the original California Gold Rush Trail."
