Ep 075 The Oregon Trail: You have died of Cholera. Or Heat. Or Sturgis.
Rick, Elara, Little Mule (newly named car) and Bessie (not-quite-newly named trailer) are nearly home after almost 6 weeks on the road on the Great American Cattle Drive 2020. After a quick detour across historic Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada and California, they have decided that they definitely have the good life travelling in the modern age. Especially with air conditioning.
The Oregon Trail. The California Trail. The Mormon Trail. The Bozeman Trail. The Pony Express Trail.
At least this time Elara didn’t eat it halfway across, due to Cholera (all of you 70’s and 80’s gamers got that one, we’re sure).
