Since you're from Nebraska maybe you have seen this one. I took it at Pioneer Village during the ITG4 outing in June.

I'm sure I have at one time or another..Minden is about 130 miles west of where I live.. They do a chuckwagon/Wagon train thing out by chimney rock(near Scottsbluff) Following the Oregon trail..That would be neat to do that sometime..

Been to Minden many times in last 30 yrs on trips from Denver to Sioux City. Marvelous place. I even donated a WW II restored vacuum tube wire recorder one yr.

The back of that wagon resembles the back of some of our teardrops.

The cook's pants in that picture look like a deflated balloon. ...Maybe too many beans?

This one is very near the Red Cloud Agency in Nebraska.

That is a beautiful photo.

Also, without the canvas top, one can see better how the chuck box portion was shaped.

Thank you Sharon,


I took this one also in the same area as the wagon.
It makes it so easy to imagine camping, cooking, traveling across the old West...
