In todays oregon trail, we've hit the one month mark of being on the trail. We have been mostly healthy this whole trip, but right now, some of the people are getting sick with a fever. We have discovered some bad types of water too. It's called Alkaline water. We had a large discussion of what we should do with them, but we decided what was best for the wagon train as a whole, and we ended up leaving them behind, what Mr. McCoy ( our wagon train leader ) suggested. So now a we are a family short on the oregon trail. So now all of us are drinking all that awful Castor Oil to try and stay healthy. We ran into our nephew's grave from two years ago. But I nearly got lost just from staring at it for so long. I lost track of the wagon train, so I ran west to catch up. Just the other day, Vasilios Costas got a bad case of Cholera. We ran into a guy along the trail with some snake oil. We could get a vial of it for $50, or two vials for $75. He said it was guaranteed to work, but it doesn't help Cholera. So now we don't have a cook and who knows how much of the food, he's touched. Now we all might die from this deadly Cholera. But most people who die on the Oregon trail die from sickness, so I will not be surprised if people in our wagon train start to die.
