How did the Mountain Men cross South Pass?

Well done!

Very interesting to hear about improved structures for water and wagon travel on the trailer. I maintain and build hiking trails, including the PCT, much of which takes place in wilderness that requires using non-mechanical devices. That amount of time and effort trail volunteers put into developing and keeping a 24" tread and an 8-foot right of way pales n comparison to the work these people did to keep an active 48" wagon trail operating. -

Details about the surveying and engineering sounds interesting too!

Very interesting looking at this on google earth and seeing the 'tail end' of streams flowing east and west at this point making it one of the driest/easiest places to cross the divide, one can only imagine the miles ridden scouting for the best path, although game trails no doubt played a part.
