I grew up on the Trail, about 90 miles west of St Joseph, MO. You could still see the wagon wheel ruts in the pasture on a friend's place. They lived in what had been a trading post on the Trail. When they were remodeling, they found rifle ports cut into the walls of their house.

From the animals you shot, you have gotten 2000 pounds of meat. However you were only able to carry 100 pounds back to the wagon.

Caulk the wagon and float it across or Attempt to Ford the river?
