Santa Fe Trail....

Click to enlarge, the red line is the Santa Fe Trail
There was a time in history, before railroads and all that, now don't get confused,
if you wanted to go from Missouri to New Mexico, this was the "road" you used;
hook you wagon to the mules, of oxen may pull it too,
get set for quite a trip, and you had a lot to do.

This is how the west was settled, on group at a time,
and these trails were popular, you had to wait in line.
You took your wagon, family too and livestock by the way;
it was slow they had to eat, and you didn't carry hay.
This was one piece of the puzzle - click
Wildflowers along the way - click
A Memorial and celebration, very nice. - click
