As he told the board, Presbyterian Missionaries Henry Harmon Spalding and Marcus Whitman traveled the Oregon Trail route in the 1830s, and affected his tribe--the Nez Perces--and those impacts are still being experienced today. There are many stories to tell about the trails, and the tribal stories are just some of them.<br /><br />As one board member noted, the organization needs to recognize there are differing viewpoints to the trails stories...<br /><br />Otis is funny, he told the board there are many tribes, and even one tribe called "The Settlers."<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">--Candy Moulton</span>Oregon California Trails Associationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03874129674974686453noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2213156534024827972.post-90913622058052070252009-08-17T22:36:00.000-07:002009-08-17T22:43:32.600-07:00Two Copies of the FilmBob arrived in Denver today in anticipation of the Premiere on Wednesday.

I will have much to report to the board concerning progress of the film and the new Web site we at Boston Productions are now beginning to organize (more on that soon). I stopped at Fort Bridger to take some photos of the new statue of Jim Bridger, but had camera problems...two different cameras with me and neither one worked! So no pictures of the incredibly cool statue that was installed there on 8-8-08.<br /><br />When I arrived in Salt Lake City I drove down North Temple Street, past the Red Iguana.

All of the footage we shot--some 100 hours of film--is now being evaluated by an editor in preparation for producing the final film. I had an opportunity to visit the Boston Productions office in Norwood, Massachusetts, a couple of weeks ago and view some of the footage. We are also beginning a new part of this project, development of Web resources that we hope will help people connect with the trail. Although the work has continued since we wrapped shooting in July, for my part I've been involved in other activities. But now it is time to revitalize this blog and get to work on the next phases of In Pursuit of a Dream.<br /><br /><em>--Candy Moulton</em>Oregon California Trails Associationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03874129674974686453noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2213156534024827972.post-50004679112672713482008-08-27T09:49:00.001-07:002008-08-27T09:54:47.091-07:00Sweetwater, Carbon, and Wyoming SupportTremendous support for this film came to us from the Sweetwater County Travel and Tourism board, Carbon County Visitor Council, and Wyoming Tourism and we thank them sincerely. Some of the best trail remnants in the country are in Sweetwater County, and they are well known sites including segments of the Oregon, California, Mormon Pioneer, Overland and Cherokee Trails. Carbon County has its own sections of trail including many, many miles of Overland and Cherokee Trails.<br /><br />Of course some of the best known landmarks on the trail--such as Independence Rock, Devils Gate, Split Rock, and certainly South Pass--are all in Wyoming. If you want more informatin about Wyoming trail and visitor services visit the state tourism website...which has links to both Sweetwater and Carbon Counties. <a href="http://www.wyomingtourism.org/">www.wyomingtourism.org</a><br /><br /><em>--Candy Moulton</em>Oregon California Trails Associationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03874129674974686453noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2213156534024827972.post-69858859402515770782008-08-27T09:42:00.000-07:002008-08-27T09:48:17.588-07:00Thank you Ranch-Way Feeds<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuy4DcEC1prveRN8rmMSnJNzzoyVze-Z6J1wTlCOwQKyxQRrgLXwkzH4pXEOIAZYGFGAlgDiov_FbkJ5OK1mAjOnsgxxxfitTbsP8ZC-7aiEXMZIKyMsHD64Y-YvFRwTozcS7G8Fd9FYdi/s1600-h/IPDRanchwayIMG_9060.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239239611593927714" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuy4DcEC1prveRN8rmMSnJNzzoyVze-Z6J1wTlCOwQKyxQRrgLXwkzH4pXEOIAZYGFGAlgDiov_FbkJ5OK1mAjOnsgxxxfitTbsP8ZC-7aiEXMZIKyMsHD64Y-YvFRwTozcS7G8Fd9FYdi/s400/IPDRanchwayIMG_9060.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>When we were putting this adventure together, I called Ranch-Way Feeds in Wyoming and asked if they would sponsor our horse and mule feed....which they agreed to do.

I am at the National Convention of the Oregon-California Trails Association (OCTA) in Nampa, Idaho. Yesterday I drove across the trail, stopping at the Three Island Crossing Oregon Trail Interpretive Center in Glenns Ferry, Idaho. Right now I am at the OCTA National Board meeting. We are listening to reports of trails activities supported by the National Park Service and this gives me a good opportunity to say THANK YOU to the NPS and the Long Distance Trails Office for the support of In Pursuit of a Dream.<br /><br />We have received more than $55,000 in NPS funding for the filming itself and for development of a new Web site that eventually will have educational curriculum materials as well as photos and video from across the trail. (Keep watching this site for updates!)<br /><br />Sitting behind me now are many of our NPS partners and we certainly appreciate their continued support of OCTA and more specifically of In Pursuit of a Dream!<br /><br /><em>--Candy Moulton</em></div>Oregon California Trails Associationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03874129674974686453noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2213156534024827972.post-58233679310557567722008-07-27T09:02:00.000-07:002008-07-27T09:07:16.267-07:00Quackgrass Sends Photos<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7XWTXwrphtzWY2MRTXOylpiPzieNmtyUDLZvpgzN3hKXTIk4b1skKdXMqG2b51qKV5yKXvaitnn4BpyuX9qGjqC3kzVT4rrRMpGylwP04XoiK2eBBbOMNST649UKXR2OiDxJtqZ0ucO4P/s1600-h/Kenedy&Angela100_0749.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227725867998802482" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7XWTXwrphtzWY2MRTXOylpiPzieNmtyUDLZvpgzN3hKXTIk4b1skKdXMqG2b51qKV5yKXvaitnn4BpyuX9qGjqC3kzVT4rrRMpGylwP04XoiK2eBBbOMNST649UKXR2OiDxJtqZ0ucO4P/s400/Kenedy&Angela100_0749.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_bLmJxHmlNynSUPWmFuec6IELDq0MNBvxw0Lk2K1vOe77Y0hcIE_Fz6CmK_nuOo90N-pXFoz8Rsnp7EFLUsSAn7o-GA7FE5ATla2qZQfECJSJ_txubQ-FV9f6yFI0-deszJwBudWOEoU-/s1600-h/tetontrosperandtomyellowcloud100_0755.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227725865879732946" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_bLmJxHmlNynSUPWmFuec6IELDq0MNBvxw0Lk2K1vOe77Y0hcIE_Fz6CmK_nuOo90N-pXFoz8Rsnp7EFLUsSAn7o-GA7FE5ATla2qZQfECJSJ_txubQ-FV9f6yFI0-deszJwBudWOEoU-/s400/tetontrosperandtomyellowcloud100_0755.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Quackgrass Sally was very busy during our film shoot, setting up the reenactor encounters, working with our caterers, moving camp each day...but she found time to take a few photos and here are a couple of them.

Our two weeks together really bonded us as a trail family and that means we miss each other. I've been asked to present some information about the film at the National Convention of the Oregon-California Trails Association in Nampa, Idaho, in August (The convention is Aug. 5-9 and is open to anyone interested. Visit the OCTA Web site at www.octa-trails.org for info). Bob will put together a short film clip for me to show. I've posted some new photos. Watch for more in the next couple of days.<br /><br /><em>--Candy Moulton</em>Oregon California Trails Associationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03874129674974686453noreply@blogger.com1
