- “The Relic Hunter”
Pete Peters was a young boy when he first visited an old trail outpost called Alkali Station. It was a stopping point on the Oregon Trail and though it was just a grassy pasture, the wagon ruts and the outline of the old post remained visible …as they still are today. Over Pete’s lifetime, he saw the Overland Trail evolve into the interstate highway system that still moves people from east to west and back again. Over the years, Pete amassed a collection of bottles, guns, arrowheads, and other things travelers left along the trail. We dig into the historic trail’s history with a man who’s spent his entire life living near it.
