The life is slow, the nature is untouched by machines, the wildlife is plenteous. The people you meet aren’t always kind, but most of them are and they’ll have you over for supper. They’ll feed you with beef, or turkey with gravy, and potatoes and corn. They’ll make sure you’re well fed and rested before you continue on your way. But there will also be those who try to take it all away from you at the point of a gun. But you’ll have to fight them off and get the hell out of there and keep going on your journey in the Conestoga. The schooner of the west.
