RE: Buying Vegetables from History!

in #history5 years ago

Oh man, that door would make me feel each and every time like I was drunk.

I grew up in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in Canada, and it really is amazing to think how people used to try to cross them before modern highways. I never woudl have thought they disassembled the entire wagon though! That was some sheer determination.

Sort:  

Hahaha, a door that makes you feel drunk.
Not just one wagon my friend, our forefathers were a crafty lot.
In history a large part of the population here decided to go and look for another place to settle up north and the "Groot Trek", which means the "Great Move" took place across that mountain. Imagine disassembling about a 100 wagons. And they also had to hoist the live oxen and horses, plus other live stock over the mountain.
I will Google and find the link for a post.
Blessings and hope your Friday is good.
