Great thread, joining late and my gut says keep 2 and 3, throw away 1 and 4.

Rocky Ridge is a good deal tougher than the first hill we crossed. This is a rugged, boulder-strewn path that climbs about 700 feet in two miles (about 1 foot of elevation for every 15 feet forward).

Seems like a good opportunity to double-team it.

Three miles? Where�s the option to turn around and take the other path? That seems more logical.

Regardless, this isn�t about logic. Continue ahead.

That's a disconcerting name for a place. This is where the Donner Party wintered and nearly died out.

Cold Stream Pass is a relatively easy shortcut, unlike the others we've skipped. It's longer than the main route but the steepest part is much shorter.

Anyway, let�s go for Cold Stream Pass.

Amazingly, our travels manage to go smoothly for once after taking care of the sprain! We make it all the way past the Coast of Nebraska and stop at a creek.

But it looks like we only have about 45 pounds of dried vegetables left and no guarantee of how many forts or missions even exist in 1840, so it's time to forage!

If we are counting from top-left clockwise (which is what I think we did last time?) keep 1,2, and 4.
