We have been staying in several KOA campgrounds on the way west. Both have relics of the past including a covered wagon. Imagine pulling up stakes and moving with your family to the wild frontier. What would you take?
Looking inside, the dimensions were about four by eight by five feet high. Not a lot of room to take your family of four kids.
There has to be room for some bedding, cooking utensils, an axe, some furniture. It occurs to me that it's the same challenge that campers face when they go on a play trek.
Those pioneer days encourages one to think about what it takes to begin again, leaving coveted things behind, pursuing new paths.
What would you need to throw into your covered wagon?(We have travelled almost four thousand kilometers as we reach the gates at the Badlands National Park in South Dakota. Starting in southern Ontario we have passed through Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota. Tomorrow we will enjoy this phenomenal park which took our breaths away when we arrived.)
