The Conestoga Susquehannock people are a Uriscoian speaking tribe indigenous to the Susquehanna River Valley and its tributaries which encompasses parts of present-day Pennsylvania, New York, and Maryland according to tribal historian, Michael Mantooth. “Our oral history and the historical record support that we started in New York, and we actually traveled down the Susquehanna River. So periodically through time, as you track our people and where our villages were located, we move up and down the Susquehanna River throughout, you know, the seasons and throughout the years, and when, you know, a particular site would become depleted or unsafe, we would move to the opposite side of the river or further north or further south.” Present day, there are under 100 members remaining of the Conestoga Susquehannock people today. According to Mantooth, most of the tribe are over 70 years old. “So, you know, it puts us in a situation where it's now or never in terms of recognition of our tribal history. It's now or never in terms of return of our treaty guaranteed land in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. You know, it's interesting that today there's a prevailing myth of our extinction, despite 175 plus years of documented history of asking for that land back, not just as indigenous people, but specifically and consistently identifying as Conestoga people over this period of time. You know, so today we're really in a push. You know, we're reaching out to politicians. We're trying to rebuild those relationships to try to preserve our history because it is like every major source still lists us as extinct despite all of this documentation.” Listen to the podcast to hear more about the tribe, how colonization impacted the tribe, and the five common myths about Native Americans that Mantooth addressed.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Charles Stewart is the Host and producer for the podcast, Itsnothistory.com. Stewart was always fascinated by history and worked on numerous documentary films. He began his journey with a podcast series called Conestoga Town. “I'm from Lancaster County. And growing up there, I was always fascinated by the Conestoga and subsequent rivers. And so, I thought, you know, hey, let's you know, and what happened to the people who those rivers are named after.” He began his podcast by asking one question. “What happened to the people the rivers are named after. And, you know, the people being the kind of stoker and Susquehanna Indian tribe. And, you know, so I thought this would be a nice, easy way to start a podcast because I naively thought I pretty much knew about what the answer to this question was, which was that the, you know, the last of the kind of stoker and systematic people were tragically massacred in the mid-1700s by a in Lancaster by a group of vigilantes from what's now the Harrisburg area called the Paxton Boys, or the Paxton Rangers.” Stewart interviewed historians and native Americans for his podcast series, and realized he didn’t know as much as he thought he did. The Conestoga Town series was supposed to be one episode, but as he completed more interviews, he realized there was so much more to the topic. “And so when I started to dig deeper into this and to talk to, you know, historians and Native American activists, I discovered that this was a very, very far reaching topic with, you know, very, very deep roots in the area. And it had a broad impact, not just in, you know, central Pennsylvania, in Dauphin County, what's now Dauphin County and Lancaster County, but really had far reaching impact on American history as well. And that this was actually a very, very active topic among both professional historians and Native American to Native American communities as well.” The Conestoga Town series currently has 22 episodes.

If you think traffic and travel are bad now, it might not compare to what awaits if Guelph Transit workers go on strike, or are locked out by the City. It could be worse. In so much as these things never happen at the best possible time, it might be even worse for Guelph Transit now as they hit new ridership records and try to justify increased expenses as City Hall is looking to save pennies. So is transit job action a foregone conclusion? You may remember the last time there was job action around Transit. It was late summer 2014 and Guelph ended up going more than two weeks without a transit system. Ten years ago, the city was different. This was before the 99 Mainline, before Conestoga was more of a draw, and before Guelph Transit broke two different ridership records in the same year. A shutdown stemming from job action will throw all that progress away. So what's at stake? Basically, the workers are looking for a cost of living increase and a pathway to a better work-life balance. Driving around town is hard enough, but trying to put a happy face on City policy, maintaining customer service, proctoring fares and helping people find their way using an app that Transit has no investment in? Is it so surprising that workers are looking for a raise? Scott Bate, who is the president of the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1189, will join us this week to lend some insight into these matters. He will tell us about a day in the life of a transit worker, what they're bargaining for, and why they don't plan on accepting any concessions from management. He will also talk about what's going to happen when time runs out for the no-board report, and why they're trying to get the word out early about a potential job action. So let's talk about job action on this week's edition of the Guelph Politicast! The no-board report expires on November 7 at which point the union can strike, the City can lock them out, or the whole thing might go to arbitration. So what way is it going to go? We'll have to wait and see, so stay tuned to Guelph Politico for any updates and keep on an eye on the social media feeds of both the City of Guelph and Guelph Transit respectively. The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean. Find more episodes of the Politicast here, or download them on your favourite podcast app at Apple, TuneIn and Spotify. Also, when you subscribe to the Guelph Politicast channel and you will also get an episode of Open Sources Guelph every Monday, and an episode of End Credits every Friday.

In this episode of the Rainmaker Podcast, guest Mark Clewett, President and Managing Partner of Conestoga Capital Advisors, sits down with host Dan DiDomenico to discuss his career, leadership philosophy, and the growth of his firm. Clewett shares his professional journey, beginning with his education in finance at Penn State and early roles at SEI Investments and Delaware Investments. He reflects on joining Conestoga in 2006 when the firm was relatively small, managing $200 million in assets with a team of just seven people. Over the years, Conestoga grew into an established boutique firm with over $8 billion in assets under management.Clewett credits much of Conestoga's success to its focus on small- and mid-cap growth equity strategies and its emphasis on long-term, durable relationships. He emphasizes the importance of consistency and quality in client communications, especially when engaging institutional consultants. Clewett also highlights the firm's niche strategy of concentrating on portfolios of companies with a competitive advantage and sustainable earnings growth, which has positioned Conestoga well within the competitive investment landscape.The conversation touches on the key role consultants have played in Conestoga's growth. Initially, Clewett focused on institutional relationships to leverage consultant networks, which helped expand the firm's reach. Over time, the sales team grew to include dedicated personnel for institutional and advisor relations. Clewett also discusses the importance of a strong internal culture, where all teams—whether investment, client service, or operations—work closely and respect each other's roles.Clewett offers practical advice for young professionals and sales leaders, emphasizing the long-term nature of relationship-building and the need to embrace change in career trajectories. He reflects on his personal leadership style, noting that maintaining the firm's collaborative, respectful culture is a priority as Conestoga grows.The episode concludes with a discussion about scaling a boutique firm, the challenges of competing with industry giants, and the constant need to elevate marketing materials and communications as the firm expands. Clewett's insights provide a thoughtful roadmap for navigating the complexities of growing and leading a boutique investment firm.

La entrevista continúa con Jack Howell, Randy Harris, Jim Gerhart, and Steve Sylvester. Cuando escuchas la palabra agua, muchas imágenes vienen a tu imaginación como agua en un estanque o las gotas de lluvia. Pero el agua no es solo la cosa en una taza. Las personas en el pasado y ahora utilizan el poder del agua para intercambiar ideas y recursos. Por esta razón, el agua significa mucho en el comercio y la economía. El río Conestoga es lo más destacado durante la discusión del sistema canal entre Filadelfia y Baltimore. Este sistema era complejo para transportar materiales crudos en condiciones variadas. Los expertos explican el comienzo del sistema canal y el final del sistema canal cuando los ferrocarriles fueron introducidos.

John's guest this week is Rinker Buck, the author of a book entitled "The Oregon Trail", It is a narrative of his travel in a Conestoga wagon from Missouri to Oregon, on the trail of that name. It is both an historical recounting of this great pioneer wagon highway from the 1800s, along with a day by day on his travel with his mules and his brother. All the characters, two- and four- legged are real and vibrant with eccentricities that make them totally memorable, as is the adventure that brought them all together.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brothers Matt and Greg Keasey started their brewing business out of a converted barn in Conestoga in 2007. In 2015, SpringHouse Brewery moved its operations to Lancaster City and renovated a former warehouse into a brewery restaurant. Now these brothers are onto new ventures, like their limited artist collaboration series, which connects local artist with the surrounding Central Pennsylvania community.

Coming through with some thoughts on the intersection of friendship and ambition, covered wagon core (not to be confused with cottagecore!), and ~summer movies~.Following up on our Wilder conversation, we'd like to discuss covered wagon core. See Kim K.'s CR Fashion Book spread “The Pioneer Woman,” Rudy Jude, Salter House, and making jam. Re: actual covered wagons, Conestoga does a luxe wagon and a bar wagon, both, and Pioneer Woman has a roundup of campgrounds with covered wagons.Rainesford Stauffer's “We Should Be Ambitious About Our Friendships” for Elle sparked our convo about friendship ambition—she's also the author of An Ordinary Age: Finding Your Way in a World That Expects Exceptional and the new All the Gold Stars: Reimagining Ambition and the Ways We Strive. We love this tweet about friendship discussion agendas. As for books, this topic calls to mind Courtney Martin's The New Better Off, Kayleen Schaefer's Text Me When You Get Home, Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman's Big Friendship, and Hua Hsu's Stay True. On our TBR list: Sheila Liming's Hanging Out: The Radical Power of Killing Time. (In the meantime: “The Case for Hanging Out” by Dan Kois for Slate and The Ezra Klein Show episode "The ‘Quiet Catastrophe' Brewing in Our Social Lives.") Bring on the summer movies! Obsessed with Past Lives, itching to see Theater Camp, Joy Ride, Problemista (see also: I Want to Be a Vase by Julio Torres), Red, White, & Royal Blue, Challengers, and, of course, Barbie (all the prophecies, including Margot Robbie in Vogue and Greta Gerwig in Gentlewoman, whet the appetite).Do you have easy, low-pressure ways to keep up with friends?

This is Eric Stark with The Smart RV'er Podcast Delivering the smarts you need to enjoy the freedom of the RV Lifestyle without the fear of breaking down! Living the RV Life: In this podcast episode, Eric and Alexis discuss the tricks and tips for finding free camping spaces or campsites for RVers. They acknowledge that while many RVers are already familiar with these methods, some may be new to the concept or have never needed to find free camping spots before. The hosts share their experiences of needing to find a place to spend the night while on the road and emphasize the importance of feeling safe and secure in these locations. They mention that some options for free camping include Walmart parking lots (although not all Walmarts offer this), restaurant parking lots, hotel parking lots, and truck stops. They highlight the need to ask for permission before staying overnight and to be considerate by keeping the area clean and not causing any disturbances. The hosts also mention Cracker Barrel locations as potential options for RVers, as some are known to be friendly towards allowing overnight parking. They advise finding well-lit areas and taking precautions for security, such as having exterior lights and surveillance cameras. They conclude the episode by encouraging listeners to share their own RV-friendly locations with others through RV clubs and forums, as everyone is constantly looking for safe and convenient places to stay during their travels. Staying On The Road: Eric discusses his dislike for clutter and his habit of throwing things in a disorganized manner when working on projects or cleaning up. He emphasizes the importance of eventually cleaning up and organizing everything to avoid confusion and ensure easy access to tools and supplies. He then shifts the focus to RVs and explains why it's necessary to clean out unnecessary items regularly. Carrying around unused items adds weight to the RV, increases fuel consumption, and causes extra wear and tear. Eric shares examples of frustrating situations when disorganization hampers the process of finding essential items like a jack during a roadside emergency. He then emphasizes the benefits of keeping belongings organized, which makes tasks easier and prevents frustration. He also mentions the importance of maintaining organization when visiting service departments or dealerships to ensure the safekeeping of personal items. Eric concludes by suggesting thoroughly cleaning the RV at the beginning and end of each season to avoid accumulating unnecessary items and clutter. The Next Stop: Glamping, short for glamorous camping, is a popular trend that combines the experience of camping with luxury and comfort. It involves staying in unique and often upscale accommodations in outdoor settings. Glamping sites can be found in various locations, and they offer a range of options such as fancy tents, cabins, Conestoga wagons, and even converted structures like yurts or treehouses. Glamping provides a more comfortable and convenient camping experience compared to traditional camping. Instead of pitching a tent and sleeping on the ground, glamping accommodations often feature amenities like real beds, heating, air conditioning, and sometimes even en-suite bathrooms. This allows people to enjoy the beauty of nature without sacrificing comfort. There are several platforms, such as Glamping Hub, where you can find a wide selection of glamping spots. These websites provide information about different locations, amenities, and availability, making it easier for people to explore and book their glamping experiences. The appeal of glamping lies in the opportunity to have a unique and memorable getaway. It offers a change of pace and a chance to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life while still enjoying the comforts of modern living. Glamping can be a great option for those who want to experience...

EPISODE 219It's been a long time since we've had Rohrs on the show. He's had some pretty dramatic life-changing experiences and is now living and working for TaylorMade Golf in Naples, FL. Rohrs chimes in later in the show because we had some business to take care of before we got to the PGA Championship talk. The Vegas Golf Network held this month's tournament at Conestoga Golf Club in Mesquite, NV. The course was a challenge, and we had 47 players show up to take on ye ole wagon wheel. The wind got us late, but it was a great event and an even better venue.The renovated Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, NY, hosts the 2023 PGA Championship this week. Honestly, we're all pretty excited to watch this one, and we didn't really do a deep dive into the history of the course or the event. We did cover the odds and made our picks at the end of the show, but no major in-depth discussion this go around.  Rohrs surprised us with what he thinks has been the biggest surprise from TaylorMade Golf this season, and we had some fun talking about his career hole in ones made number. It's still growing, and recently.Big shout out to Rohrs for hopping in with us late into the night out n Florida. It was great having him back on the show.

Full Hour | In today's second hour, Dom welcomes Colonel Allen B. West and Stan Casacio back onto the Dom Giordano Program live in studio as the Colonel comes to the Philadelphia region for an event tonight in Whitemarsh Township. Dom, Allen, and Stan run through multiple topics of the day, each offering their own thoughts and breakdown of both the border situation and Trump's Town Hall last night. Also, Stan tells more about the event, and Allen goes in-depth into his history as both a scubadiver and skydiver, something he learned to enjoy while in the service. Then, Dom Giordano welcomes in Lindsie Rank, Student Press Council at FIRE (Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression), to hear about a situation unfolding at Conestoga High School. Since the early 1960's, every year, the student newspaper, The SPOKE, would publish a ‘destination map,' that would show where graduates are going to college. This year, after a student complaint, the district has threatened to remove funding for the paper if they publish the map again. The district argues that this is in an effort to promote equity, but Rank explains the implications on the First Amendment that such a demand holds. Rank explains how students are pushing back, and explains how and why this is another case of censorship in schools in the guise of equity.  

Dom Giordano welcomes in Lindsie Rank, Student Press Council at FIRE (Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression), to hear about a situation unfolding at Conestoga High School. Since the early 1960's, every year, the student newspaper, The SPOKE, would publish a ‘destination map,' that would show where graduates are going to college. This year, after a student complaint, the district has threatened to remove funding for the paper if they publish the map again. The district argues that this is in an effort to promote equity, but Rank explains the implications on the First Amendment that such a demand holds. Rank explains how students are pushing back, and explains how and why this is another case of censorship in schools in the guise of equity. (Photo by Getty Images) 

Not symmetricalBut then nothing really is —Only in our mind* * *In this segment of UnMind we continue where we left off, discussing the all-important mentoring relationship of teachers to students, and students to teachers, particularly the asymmetrical relationship in Zen training. The success of any mentorship depends almost entirely, 100% plus, on the sincerity and intensity of the student, more so than the teacher, as illustrated by the anecdote about my friend and fellow student at ID+IIT, JJ, who had an unfortunate run-in with one of my key design mentors related in the last segment. As a teacher of design at the U of I, Chicago Circle Campus, and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, I found myself on the other side of the equation and gained even more respect for my mentors. For those design students who did not seem to benefit greatly from my tutelage, I can fault them as well as myself. My story and sticking to it, anyway.The well-known exchanges between Zen ancestors and their students, particularly those who eventually succeeded them in the lineage, are illustrative of this asymmetry. Bodhidharma, the first Zen patriarch known to history in China, for example, responded to his Chinese student and dharma heir, Huike, who complained of having a disturbed mind, by asking him to show him this mind. When Huike replied that when he looked for it he could not find it, the sage exclaimed “There I have calmed your mind!” or some such expression. These incidents are variously translated so please forgive my paraphrasing, as well as the spelling of the names. I am not a scholar. My point here is that then Huike, in a similar exchange with his future successor, Sengcan, said something similar. The eventual third patriarch in China likewise complained of being “bound” by something, and Huike asked him what was binding him. When he could not respond, Sengcan suddenly realized there was nothing binding him and was liberated.That Huike responded to his student in essentially the same way that his teacher Bodhidharma had replied to him illustrates that the teacher was not called upon to say or do something extraordinary, but instead had responded with an ordinary, mundane question. We might even conclude that Huike had merely imitated Bodhidharma's approach. I think this makes the case that what triggered the profound event of the student's transformative insight was not the skill or mystical power of the teacher, but was dependent upon the desperation of the student, combined with complete faith in the teacher.Symmetry is a principle of Design Thinking, as can be seen in the design of most modern automobiles as well as vintage wheeled vehicles, such as the chariot Buddha used as an analogy to the skandhas, or the Conestoga wagons that settled the West. The practical reasons for this are pretty obvious when considering the function of the vehicle to move straight forward or backward in as friction-free a way as possible, as well as to navigate turns. But the adherence to symmetry in design goes far beyond the practical functioning of the vehicle, into the aesthetics of its overall form and features. One of the few notable exceptions to the symmetry norm may be seen in the Nissan Cube (see photo) introduced to the American market in 2009 and discontinued in 2014. We may most usefully consider this anomaly in the context of the adage, “form follows function.”Seeing this startling design for the first time may cause whiplash as it surprises your expectations of symmetry. It features a wrap-around window on the rear and one side, which violates the usual bilateral symmetry of vehicle design. I wonder if it also created a hazard in case the vehicle rolls in a wreck, as the roof-support structure would apparently be greatly weakened by the lack of a fourth column in that corner. And that that partially explains its brief time on the market.Of course, the power drive chain and other mechanical systems that make the modern vehicle function are not symmetrical in the simple sense – one only has to look under the hood to see the asymmetrical complexity of the modern combustion engine or that of the newer electric and hybrid vehicles.The apparent bilateral symmetry of the human being and many other animals is similarly deceptive. Once the relatively symmetrical outer appearance is removed, as in surgery or an autopsy, the incredible complexity of the underlying system of nerves, glands, and organs is revealed. The skeleton and musculature largely reflect the symmetrical form of the outer appearance, and much like the drive train and wheels of the automobile, function to support the mobility and balance of the body in motion.So the appearance of bilateral symmetry in both cases is just that – appearance, another word for form.The famous formula coined by Buddha, that form (appearance) is, itself, emptiness — and vice-versa — reflects this greater reality. If we probe even further, down to the molecular and atomic levels, it becomes clear that while the constituent elements making up the appearance of symmetry of the object may themselves exhibit various kinds of internal symmetry, including radial and other three-dimensional geometries that transcend mere bilateral or mirror symmetry; there is no clear, fractal-like relationship of the micro-scale parts to the macro-scale whole. The forming processes of whatever metal, plastic, rubber, textile and other materials undergo in order to achieve the final form of the completed object obviously depend upon the properties of the materials, but their original, internal form has little to do with the final, external form. Like the fabled chariot, the whole exists only in the sum of the parts.If we deconstruct the vehicle, like the chariot, it ceases to function, or to exist, as a vehicle. Likewise, the organism, human or otherwise, does not function or exist outside the particular assembly of its parts. Zen meditation is often referred to as a process of deconstructing consciousness, or the mind itself. Realization, according to Master Dogen in Jijuyu Zammai—Self-Fulfilling Samadhi, is the manifestation of this process (emphasis mine):All this, however, does not appear within perception because it is unconstructedness in stillness; it is immediate realization.Note that the term “unconstructedness” does not even qualify as proper English; the giveaway is the red underline the word processor uses to highlight a mistake. Dogen goes on to point out that “if practice and realization were two things, as it appears to the ordinary person, each could be recognized separately. But what can be met with recognition is not realization itself because realization is not reached by a deluded mind.” This indicates that anything that can be met with recognition is, by definition, a kind of delusion. Our very recognition of something we call “symmetry” is itself delusional. Upon closer examination it falls apart, seen to be, at best, a kind of approximation. The mind continually averages out all the contrary impressions of asymmetry to focus upon and reify the notion of symmetry.The immediacy of realization the Master points to should be understood as immediate in both time and space. That is, in this “realization” what becomes real to us is not something that heretofore was distant from us and somewhere in the future, but always and ever present, and near at hand. So close as to be inaccessible to perception as such, like the water to the fish, or the air to the bird. As Dogen points out later in this same tract, even the idea of “realization” must be regarded with some circumspection:[But] the boundary of realization is not distinct. For the realization itself comes forth simultaneously with the mastery of buddha-dharma. Do not suppose that what you realize becomes your knowledge or is grasped by your consciousness. Although actualized immediately, the inconceivable may not be apparent. Its appearance is beyond your knowledge. That “the inconceivable may not be apparent” — one of my favorite Dogen lines and, I think, indicative of his sense of humor — must be one of the grand understatements of all time. How could the inconceivable in any way be apparent? This is one of the hallmarks of the asymmetrical nature of the relationship, the ability to use language but not be used by it. So to speak. o point at that which is beyond concept, let alone language. Concepts take time to form. Expressing them in language takes even longer. Using words to point at that which is beyond conception, and thus far beyond language, is difficult, but not impossible. Tozan Ryokai, credited with founding Soto Zen in China, reminds us of the inconceivable nature of Zen realization in his Ch'an poem Hokyo Zammai—Precious Mirror Samadhi, pointed to as “it” (J. inmo):Although it is not constructed it is not beyond wordsLike facing a precious mirrorForm and reflection behold each otherYou are not it but in truth it is youIt would be hard to find a more succinct and intriguing description of a symmetrical relationship than “Form and reflection behold each other.” Especially as the two elements of the sentence, “form” and “reflection,” indicating object and subject, respectively, are usually considered to be the opposite of symmetrical — comprising the material and spiritual dimensions of existence — or matter versus mind.One more visual example of the apparent symmetry versus the actual asymmetry that we normally perceive is illustrated by an exercise called “Your Original Face” from a creativity workshop we conducted at ASZC, based on Huineng's famous anecdotal koan. In the photos you see the same portrait of my face, divided down the middle axis and reconstructed to reveal the “left-face “ versus the “right-face” version of me. Looks like me, but… Note that the arched-eyebrow side in shadow connotes the evil me while the side in full light looks more like a saint. The “eyes have it” but so do the eyebrows and mouth. Problem-solving is the action-oriented modus operandi of both professional design thinking and the Zen or Buddhist worldview. Designers define problems worthy of solving, often redefining those presented by clients, for financial as well as altruistic reasons. Siddhartha Gautama clearly interpreted the cultural norms, mores and memes of his times and his particular social standing in the caste system as problematic or unsatisfactory, and went on what we might romanticize as a spiritual quest to find a solution. His findings, conclusions, and recommendations constituted the content of the First Sermon, in which he laid out the Four Noble Truths, an extremely concise and complete description of the “problem” of sentient existence, particularly for human beings, including a thoroughgoing prescription for practicing in daily life, the Noble Eightfold Path, which, crucially, emphasizes the central method by which anyone can approach and — at least in theory — solve this problem for themselves, essentially by “doing thou likewise.” Fortunately for us, he succeeded to a greater degree than most of his contemporaries. He and his followers transformed this personal experience into a socially inclusive program for like-minded people, the original Order of monks and nuns, as well as householders and leaders, in India. This is the origin of the legacy we have inherited and celebrate today. As I said in the prior segment, in both design and Zen training, relationships to your mentors become all-important, shaping your views of the profession, and the practice and meaning of meditation, respectively. This is true of Zen in particular, and probably all asymmetrical relationships in general. Where we go from here we shall see, as we say, but wherever the road takes us, it will arrive at the intersection of Zen and Design Thinking. Meanwhile keep practicing.* * *Elliston Roshi is guiding teacher of the Atlanta Soto Zen Center and abbot of the Silent Thunder Order.

The Oregon Trail stretched roughly 2,170 miles from Missouri to Oregon's Willamette Valley. It rambled across prairie, sagebrush desert and mountains. From the 1840s into the 1880s, hundreds of thousands of immigrants made the challenging journey, and not all survived. Today more than 120 historic sites, auto tour routes, and markers show us where the Oregon Trail traveled. One of the choke points, if you will, is in western Nebraska at a place preserved today as Scotts Bluff National Monument. Here the Oregon Trail runs across Mitchell Pass, a low spot squeezed by buff-colored bluffs that tower to the north and the south. Today a state highway runs through the pass, but back in the mid-1800s, it was a narrow wagon trail that Conestoga wagons and covered wagons followed. Traveler Editor Kurt Repanshek recently visited the monument and walked part of the trail with Ranger Eric Grunwald.
