California or Bust : An Epic Trek Across the California Emigrant Trail

[JayKay]

Small world we ran into Derek's cousin at the Cracker Barrel.

Who is Derek? Just curious. Sorry, since I live in the Midwest and don't wheel with you guys, I only know most Wayalife members by username.

Derek lives in Independence. He and some others met us for dinner last night when we got in town. He's on the forum.
