Intro
This is the 30th story in the Smallville series and is a continuation of the Westward Ho journey that began in story 25 in the Outskirts of Smallville. The wagons left Outskirts and headed west in year 45 SVT. The wagon train carried 6 families plus the wagon master and his family (Domington and Doree and their 3 boys, Linwoodrow, Lion, and Greggie). They traveled through forested valleys and over steep hills and spent over a year at the Rest Stop of story 26. They traveled on, crossing the vast prairie, when 2 families left the train and headed north instead. They established the town of Prairie Homestead #27 in year 48 SVT. The remainder of the wagon train continued west and built Fort Rapids #28 in exchange for help crossing the river rapids. They entered Bison Pass in year 52. A year later they made it through the mountain pass and came across an abandoned town.

I know, weary traveler, we were all weary and tired after roaming around in these mountains so many months. We finally made it out of that dangerous Bison Pass in early summer but we were not out of the woods yet. We found only more dense forests and steep mountains. We lost the school wagon. Luckily my son, Lion who was driving it, managed to save himself and the ox before the wagon went over the cliff. What a relief to find that old sign nailed to the tree, even though it was too weathered to read, at least we knew there was a town up ahead somewhere.
