More than 100 Sites

With the help of several other members of OCTA, we have created a list of more than 100 trail sites to include on our upcoming virtual trail map. Next we will begin gathering information. This photo shows alkali dirt blowing as we crossed the trail last summer.







When Celinda Hines crossed this area in 1853 she wrote: "Sunday, July 3 --Warm & Pleasant. I rode horse back in the A.M....P.M. crossed Wire creek also Greese wood creek. Likewise Bad Slue & Alkali region. Camped near Independence Rock."

Virtual Trail

I'm spending my time identifying trail sites to develop a virtual trail for the Oregon-California Trails Association as part of the expanded Web site project. With the assistance of OCTA members I've come up with a list of approximately 100 sites. Working with the team assembled by Boston Productions we'll now develop this into a trail for you all to follow.

Back to Work

The last five months have been busy for us as we have continued the work on In Pursuit of a Dream. 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.
