We were excited to take a covered wagon ride along the actual Oregon Trail and enjoy a genuine chuckwagon experience. When we arrived, we discovered we were the only family signed up that day, and my husband wasn't thrilled, because we had to be "on" for the hosts vs. enjoying the activity somewhat anonymously. We felt awkward and he kept commenting sarcastically "what a great idea this was!" The hosts (who actually lived on the property) took us on a brief (very brief!) wagon ride on their property (supposedly "the Oregon Trail consisted of many trails nearby") where we couldn't have covered more than a 1/8 mile total. The hosts were friendly and accomodating and the food was pretty good and the amounts generous, but the kids didn't want steak (hamburger would have been better for them) and the green beans were too spicy for them (although my son loved the homemade ice cream). The worst part was that because we ate outside, we were absolutely inundated by flies constantly landing on our food and flying about our faces. I'm positive that I ate several! When my son not-so-politely complained about the flies, a host did say they had never seen them so bad, but that didn't make us enjoy the meal any better. We ended up asking to pack up the food (which we discarded later), and didn't stay for the campfire sing-a-long (my husband would have divorced me had I suggested he participate in that as the only family). I can't say that the hosts did not deliver what they advertised, they probably did (sans the flies), but it is not an activity we could recommend or would repeat.

Even in the rain this was a most enjoyable experience. The food is fantastic and the company great. Haven't been able to eat a Ribeye since, because it won't be the same. Can't wait to go back!!!!
