We should be '49ers, starting out in April of 1849, headed to Oregon to pan for gold in the Rocky Mountain foothills.

Number 2 looks vaguely blueberry-ish, so I suggest we keep that one. Other than that, I don't trust my own botanical knowledge enough to identify the others.

Yeah, we need a sitrep before we choose what to buy. Replacing food stores lost when the wagon tipped is probably a good idea, though.

So what's with the thread's obsession with grandfather clocks? Is it an in-joke from some previous LP?

Let's head to Fort Bridger and buy up all their water.Cythereal posted:Also kind of worth noting, for this run our protagonist has gunsmith as his occupation, so he or she makes at least one of those kinds of guns in that post. Coming late to the Gold Rush, they're probably intending to get rich selling guns to the new settlers in the boomtowns.

Uh, I don't think waiting is a particularly wise course of action. I want to say that we should try another path, but I have a sneaking suspicion that would involve Salt Lake City. So we should try to move the rocks ourselves.

I don't think we should try to cross it now. Wait for a day or two to see if conditions improve. In fact, what is the "extremely treacherous" designation based upon? Is it solely river depth, or is it also dependent upon the weather or something else?

Anchor the wagon. No sense in taking unnecessary risks.

We have water now, so as long as folks in the thread can avoid recommending the most suicidal course of action each time, we should probably go for the shortcut.

Buy up any wagon parts they have. If something breaks that we can't fix, it could be disastrous.

I don't think it's that unusual for grade school kids anywhere to come to strange conclusions about other countries. I could see a combination of national pride, American stereotypes, and just students not paying full attention in history class causing the misconception that the USA is some weird backwater full of cowboys who eat nothing but hamburgers.
