The Way Its Supposed To Work

don't know how they did it since cars were everywhere and the trucks they drove were so freaking huge...

 

Yeah 1980 is far enough

 

I've given a couple people the numbers to a couple cat house's in Sacramento.

 

guy I used to work for, before he died, used to load grain at night, haul it 100 miles to market, leaving before sunup, arriving home after sundown to refill the wagon to do it again the next day.
Showed me where old US67 was, he owned the road, as it was a gravel road.

 

That's a cool story and pics, but the numbers don't seem to add up, since a horse isn't good for much more than about 30 miles per day. Maybe there was a relay system?

That bottom pic looks a lot like the wagon train in Dances with Wolves. It's neat how they have the barrels hanging off the sides. I wouldn't be surprised if that's the supply of drinking water.

 

He used mules, his son tore down the old stables a couple years ago, they had 15k or so acres now down to around 4K acres or so

 

That's cool but mules can't go much farther in a day than horses can. Was it year round snow? Uphill both ways?
