  11. There are five people in my pioneer family , all of their personalities are different. The mom's name is Pearl, she is not so sure about the trail. She worries about all the dangers on the trail. But she is trying to make the best of it.

    The dad is not as worried as he mom but he still is protective of his kids. He likes to hunt with his daughter, Virginia ( thats me). He likes to ride the horse with his son, Griffin.

    I am very adventurous and brave. I want to go on the trail, i'm excited that Ma said yes. I can't wait to go hunting, ride horses , and collect buffalo chips. I can't wait to have the adventure on the Oregon Trail.Most of all, I can't wait to get to Oregon!

    My brother, Griffin, likes to lay low and relax.
    ( he is not very exciting in my opinion)

    Here are some good things that happen on the trail

    No deaths
    no sicknesses
    finding forts
    find supplies
    get to Independence Rock early
    get to any land mark early
    get to Oregon early
    babies
    marriages
    smoking tobacco with the indians
    surviving Cholera
    surviving river crossings
    no mustangs or oxen die
    not getting lost.

    Here are some bad things that could happen on the trail.

    Cholera
    accidental gun shots
    getting run over by the wagons
    wagon tipping
    drowning
    snake bites
    hypothermia
    dehydration
    heat stroke
    Thunder storms
    being at the back of the wagon
    and running out of food.

    When I continue my journal I'll choose what good or bad things will happen on the trail!
