I had no idea about those pull-carts. Never heard of them before! That's really something, to haul those things 1,300 miles? Again after reading one of your blogs I just have to stop and shake my head in disbelief... how crazy tough were these people? Amazing!

haha! I know sir Keith, are we total wimps today? At least compared to those people we are! When you stop to think of no restroom facilities, no baths or running water, no beds to sleep in. And almost all of them weren't use to this, they weren't frontiersmen they were mostly city dwellers which makes it even more amazing. I'm glad you liked the post, I know I got sidetracked by the journey of the Mormons and the hand carts but I couldn't help myself because it was so interesting! lol.
Yeah, people do toughen up on the road... I friend of mine arrived on the west coast from Ontario by riding his bicycle. That's 4,500 km or roughly 2,800 miles. He said he was a wimp when he got started. By the time he got over the last high mountain pass, he says he wasn't a wimp anymore! (Just plain nuts in my view!)
ha! oh man, do you know how long that took him? That's an amazing ride.
