Very interesting to hear about improved structures for water and wagon travel on the trailer. I maintain and build hiking trails, including the PCT, much of which takes place in wilderness that requires using non-mechanical devices. That amount of time and effort trail volunteers put into developing and keeping a 24" tread and an 8-foot right of way pales n comparison to the work these people did to keep an active 48" wagon trail operating. -
Very interesting looking at this on google earth and seeing the 'tail end' of streams flowing east and west at this point making it one of the driest/easiest places to cross the divide, one can only imagine the miles ridden scouting for the best path, although game trails no doubt played a part.
Well done!

Thank you!!
Details about the surveying and engineering sounds interesting too!
Will be stopping by on a road trip through Wyoming...
Cool places pops
