Oregon Trail | Episode 7 | First Time on the Trail

Our Oregon Trail journey continues as we leave Fort Hall behind and begin the long push toward Fort Boise. We're more than halfway to Oregon and still in remarkably good shape, but this stretch of the trail starts putting considerably more pressure on both the party and our supplies. Hunting ammunition is running low, fatigue and illness are becoming more common, wagon space remains a constant problem, and a dust storm even costs us one of our oxen. Along the way, we help several struggling travelers, continue searching for the missing dragoons, repeatedly encounter a mysterious bounty hunter looking for some target of his own, and face one of our most dangerous river crossings yet at the Snake River. After a nighttime encounter leaves Pearl injured and James becomes sick just eight miles from our destination, we finally limp into Fort Boise with the entire original party still alive. Now there's only one major phase left between us and Oregon City.
