12. I've visited a couple or three...

Scott’s Bluff, Fort Laramie, Deep Rut Hill, Devil’s Gate, South Pass, and Independence Rock.

Also, the reproduction fort at Fort Caspar and the nearby reproduction bridge (Unlike the one burned in 1867, it doesn’t cross the Platte).

I also poked around the areas where there was supposedly a ferry across the Green River, the Ninth Crossing of the Sweetwater River in Wyoming (The junction for the Lander Cut-off).

Later on I visited Baker City, OR and poked around Flagpole Hill (the museum was closed that day). Deadman’s Pass does not look like someplace I’d care to take a covered wagon.

I also visited the reproduction Fort Vancouver in Washington state.

I still want to visit more landmarks along the Lander Road as well as the Oregon Trail landmarks in Idaho, despite the appalling actions of the Idaho legislature.
