  1. Blake and I are studying Fort Boise. I learned that some british company built it. It was built just on the side of Snake River, so thats just a coincidence because I'm also studying Snake River.

    I've learned a lot about both, like...
    SODA SPRING FACTS
    Soda Springs got it's name because it's water is fizzy.
    The fizziness is caused buy ancient volcanic activity.
    Soda springs was located along the short cut in the trail off the main route.
    The pioneers and animals got sick when they drank too much alkali water from the springs.
    The pioneers used the water for bathing and medical proposes.

    SOUTH PASS FACTS
    Wagon travel to Oregon would be almost impossible with out the south pass.
    The South Pass is the continental divide.
    The South Pass is where emigrants entered Oregon territory.
    It's elevation is 7,412.
    It's milage is 2.5 miles to the northwest at elevation 7,550.
    It was founded in the 1850's.

  3. I am studying with Evan about Independence Rock. Independence Rock is 128 feet tall, 1,900 feet long, and 300 feet wide. It also is shaped like a turtle. If you were not to the rock by July 4 you were running late. That is why we have a holiday on the forth of July.

  6. Dylan and I are studying Settling in Oregon and the white man over the age of 21 got 320 acres and if they were married their wife got 320 more acres.
    Circling the wagons kept enemies away from the pioneers.

    SODA SPRINGS

    Natural bubbling pools of carbonated water, caused by ancient volcanic activity, have long made Soda Springs an attrition.
