Wyoming National Historic Trails Center --- Joyful Camping
We made a couple stops on our way through Wyoming!
The first was to the Fort Casper Museum where we also had lunch and played on the playground. It was a nice stop with a lot to see and was great for letting the kids out of the truck for a while.
The next stop across town was to the FREE Wyoming National Historic Trails Center with a ton of information about the pioneers. The site is completely interactive and they encourage visitors to be hands on throughout the exhibits.

Riding a Wagon Across the River at the National Historic Trails Center
On this Airstream Life vLog, we head to the National Historic Trails Center in Casper Wyoming. This is a free museum run by the BLM. It was a great stop! The artwork was beautiful, the exhibits taught us a lot, and there was a lot of interactive information which we love! I got to ride a covered wagon across the river, luckily I made it safely across ;) Afterward, we headed into downtown Casper to try and catch an event at Davis Street Station. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see the movie we had planned, but it was still a fun evening exploring the city.

Road Trip: Following The Oregon Trail
Last year I stumbled on the diaries of women who had travelled the Oregon Trail. My interests, up until then, had been ancient as well as modern Native American history. I travelled to many sacred places in the Western states.
Now I'm looking at history from a different point of view - that of the emmigrants. History from a white perspective is not foreign to any of us. But the voices of many people are not included in history as I was taught.
Having read many diaries and stories of women on the westward trails I wanted to see what they so often talked about seeing.
But I was travelling from the west, going east! This made following the trail a little tricky...and I consider this trip a preliminary. I'll be coming back this way again!
This video is a little introduction to the trail. In the following weeks I will present sections of the trail, what I saw and learned, and the experience of some of the early settlers. And I'll present it the right way...going from the east to the west.
It's been a lot of fun. It has taken much longer than I anticipated it would take but I am almost at the end. Or should I say the beginning?
