We learned that the California, Oregon and Mormon Trails, as well as the Pony Express all passed through Casper. The center did a good job of showing the history of the trails and providing a feel for crossings.
We even experienced a simulated river crossing in a moving wagon. "Whatever you do, hang on in there!"
We were not facing snow, but as we pushed to get home tomorrow night, we drove on to Salt Lake for another stop. At Antelope State Park, we took a partial dip into the high concentration salt water, as well filled some bottles with salt water according to Luke's request. (Once home the water will evaporate and we will see how much salt remains!).
After 575 miles we crossed over into Nevada and called it a night.
