The Oregon trail

[MouseWife]

Well, from another old fart, from what I can remember, you are set up as a family/or whatever situation and given supplies to make it across the 'Oregon Trail' {starting from which state I can't remember...darn, and I just read a book about one convoy across the Oregon Trail}.

We encountered weather issues, other things. Loss of supplies, that sort of thing. You had to use your supplies/equipment wisely.

Oh, you might have a horse or two and/or oxen.

People died off.

See, DisneyFan, the fogies are in full "in my day..." mode now. There's no ending it now until one of us recalls the invention of dirt so that we'd have something to play with.

There's got to be some corrolary to Godwin's Law that addresses this.

I'm not old enough to remember dirt being invented, but I am old enough to remember when the patent ran out and the ripoff generic dirt that everyone settles for these days came out. You can't get REAL dirt anymore these days.
