Across the Plains Without Shock Absorbers
A journey across the high plains by covered wagon can take travelers back to the time when pioneers headed west seeking new land and new lives. The pace is slow and chuckwagon food is the norm, but some groups offer modern conveniences such as showers and rest rooms. Below are a few of the outfitters recommended by Gene Kilgore in his book Ranch Vacations.
