End of the Trail Celebration:

All good things come to an end...and so does our journey on the Ol' Oregon Trail, Pardners. At Trail's End, it is only right and fitting that we set a spell, together, and reflect on our time together...our trials and tribulations, our adventures and fun...and the shining new life ahead of us in Oregon's green valleys! Yeeeeeehaaaaaaaaa!
