Meacham and Trains Pulling the Grade
The old Oregon Trail route has been in continual use since the first pioneers (and probably prior to that with Native Americans). Now there are big freight trains and long haul trucks that rumble through the woods.
The old town of Meacham has a few residents still.
All of them were at the local fire station for a meeting.
Yes, that vintage fire truck really is the main defense of the surrounding area to fires.
Emigrant Springs State Park
We found a replica wagon at Emigrant Springs State Park.
A marker placed by Ezra Meeker around 1906.
President Harding placed this memorial plaque to the pioneers.
Heather disregarded the sign that said to keep back from the wagon.
