21st Century Oregon Trail

In 9 days we will be loading up the Kia Optima with nearly all our worldly possessions, ourselves and of course Blixen so we can drive to Portland Oregon. The most direct route will get you there in 46 hours of drive-time. We'll be doing some site seeing along the way, so we should do it in 53 hours of drive-time. We'll stop along the way in Indiana, Illinois, South Dakota, Wyoming, Utah and Idaho. The plan is to arrive in Portland by 3pm on Tuesday, November 22nd.

We hope you will follow us on this journey. Also, we'll be using many types of social media as well. Follow us on Facebook, me on Twitter @JaredCWiener or #OregonTrail.

It won't be as difficult as the original Oregon Trail, forged over 100 years ago.







It won't be as challenging as the one we initially embarked on 25 years ago.



Still, it will be a challenging, long trip, but also one that will be full of excitement!
