A few weeks ago, someone in rec.aviation.piloting??, asked about
flying the Oregon trail.

great story snipped

Wow -- COOL flight, Joe.

It had not occurred to me that a modern-day pilot could go off in search
of
the old wagon trails -- at least not in such detail, and in so complete a
manner. I figured after 150 years the tracks would be completely
obliterated by weather and man.

Fly on up near Glendo State Park in Wyoming and see Register Cliffs. The
rocks have names carved from people on the Oregon Trail and the wagon ruts
are still VERY visible 150 years later.
