There is a reason I never gave up. A reason I never will give up my hope, my dreams, my desire to live. The reason is people who care. Those who have shown their concern for me, and their wish for me to succeed, to do the best I can do. They give me a reason to live.A couple of those people are my parents. I thank my father for his (possibly unintentional) ability to make me rethink what I did, or would do. Is it good enough? Am I good enough? There are masters, there are learners, and there are master learners. A real master never stops learning. I am not a master. In subtle ways, again maybe not intentional, my father taught me this truth. I was the cocky punk know-it-all

Over rugged mountains and barren deserts in hostile Indian Territory, your only mode of transport is horsepower—of the animal variety. Your only means of navigation is the sun.
Think it sounds impossible? In the 1830s and 40s, tens of thousands of people from the East didn’t. They risked their lives to claim free, fertile farmland in Oregon or hit the mother lode in California.
The Oregon Trail is the original and best known of all emigrant trails. Farmers established the route migrating west to Oregon. The other well known is the California Trail. A few settlers diverged from the Oregon Trail and headed south to California, establishing a southerly track.
In July 1846, Jacob Donner made a fateful decision. He led the Donner Party on a shorter, less traveled version of the California Trail. The legendary, disastrous expedition trekked through Utah’s Great Salt Desert. Amazingly, the group followed advice from a trail guide who had never attempted the route.
Unlucky and unwise, the group faced hardships day after day. They didn’t reach the towering Sierra Nevada Mountains until late October. They attempted crossing the range anyway. Early winter snows trapped the group in the mountains for the winter. Rescuers reached the debilitated party in March. Half of the original 87 had perished. Infamously, emigrants found alive committed cannibalism in order to survive.

It is important to create a sacred space to practice your meditation, a place in or around your home which is designated specifically for relaxation and tranquility.

Some practical considerations to think about: try to choose a room or area of your home that is quiet and comfortable, p

Homes are still selling in Wilmington. Several of my listings have received multiple offers before going under contract, proof that there is still plenty of activity. Prices are still rising in the Wilmington market and demand continues to be strong.We have a larger inventory of homes than we have seen in months, to the advantage of the buyers. They can look around and pick the house they really want instead of making an offer on the house they find before someone else gets it under contract.Of course we have plenty of homes that are clearly overpriced, but they are falling out of the running as time passes. The overpriced inventory struggles because few buyers want to look at h
As a result of such hazards, the California Trail was little used. In the mid-1840s, few migrants had settled in the Sacramento Valley. During the gold rush, traffic along the California Trail increased 50-fold. An estimated 30,000 to 45,000 emigrants traversed the trail that year.
You can experience sections of terrain crossed by the Donner-Reed Expedition today. Silver Island Mountains Loop Trail near Wendover, Utah crosses Donner-Reed Pass at its north end. This is an easy but remote track that illustrates the hardships the Donner Party would have faced. The beautiful and unusual scenery must have seemed hellacious to the party, struggling through the soft, muddy sand flats. Dozens of side tracks off the loop are interesting to explore.
An offshoot of the Oregon and California Trails was called the Applegate Trail. The Applegate family blazed this arduous trail after two family members drowned crossing the Columbia River. They swore they would find a faster and safer route into Oregon. The first emigrant party to use the track proved theirs was neither.
After the disastrous journey, Oregon settlers condemned the route. It was longer than the original and crossed treacherous Indian Territory over rugged and barren terrain. Emigrants abandoned the route. The only subsequent traffic was Oregon prospectors rushing south to the California goldfields.
Portions of the historic Applegate Trail can be driven today. One part of original trail is on the Surprise Valley Trail, in the extreme northeastern corner of California. This tricky piece of road climbs up and over a rocky ri
