Would like to hear from others who participated in that fantastic event 35 years ago. We have lots of pictures, clippings and a 30 minute video made from home 8MM movie film. We will never forget the unbelievable experience of sharing life (hardship & happiness) with a traveling community of wonderful proud people dedicated to reliving the history of our country and their ancestors.yes, there were births, marriages and deaths along the way. Part way across PA, our train got so large from all those joining, that the train was broken into two sections and rerouted to Valley Forge. We rode with the train across the mountains of PA to Valley Forge, where on July 3rd, we met up with the 5 other arriving wagon trains from around the country. We stayed in Illinois a couple weeks to let our kids finish school then, along with 3 other local families, loaded up our horses and rejoined the wagon train at the OH/PA border. My oldest daughter and I rode our horses as outriders as it traveled thru Illinois. I, my wife and 3 kids joined the Great Lakes Wagon Train when it arrived in Illinois after it spent the winter in Laramie, WY.
