Cecil.....Thank you for the fantastic trip across the Oregon Trail and other points west. I traveled to Linn County, Oregon in 1990 from Miller County, MO and had a wonderful time visiting the many sites along the old route. Enjoyed Old Ft. Kearney, Chimney Rock, Courthouse Rock, Scottsbluff. I saw some of the old wagon tracks that are still visible in Nebraska and Wyoming. It is a trip I will never, never forget.....Also got to visit Bilyeu Den Cemetery in Linn County where my great, great, great grandparents are buried (Peter and Jane Coker Bilyeu-----Pioneers of 1852-53)........Your website is wonderful and the armchair trip was great!
