The Oregon Trail 2011 - Talk

In May of 2011, brothers Nick and Rinker Buck set out from St. Joseph, Missouri with a wagon, some camping gear, three mules, and little else. Destination: Pendleton, Oregon. Their route: the Oregon Trail, the historic East-West passage traveled by hundreds of thousands of Americans in the 1800s.

Oregon Trail reenactments are far from unusual, but what set the Bucks apart is the fact that they drove their team the entire distance, eschewing even the convenience and security of a chase vehicle for much of the journey.

The Bucks reached their goal after nearly 3 1/2 months on the trail and on Saturday, February 4th at 1:00 Nick Buck will tell their tale, accompanied by his collection of photos taken on the trail. Don't miss this exciting journey! Admission is FREE.
