While traveling through Wyoming, I found it interesting that in certain places along the O.T., you can still see the ruts cut into the ground by the old wagons that traveled the trail. The journey from Missouri to Oregon Territory (approximately 2000 miles) took about 6 months to complete. Between 1849 and 1853, Asiatic Cholera was the greatest killer on the Oregon Trail
