Sounds good to me. *note* If it is you that gets hurt, you rest as much as you need. I don’t care if it’s something as small as a cold, to a broken ankle, they need to suck it up and keep Trailin’.

If your screen isn’t covered in at least 40 dead Buffalo carcasses then you are doing it wrong. From Rabbits to Deer to the bountiful Buffalo. So you shoot every single creature that makes its way into your line of site. This really isn’t as much a way to get to Oregon as it is to pass the time: Remember that moral is everything on a journey such as this.
