    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH nice...

    Odd bit of history, that particular wagon out sold all the others nearly 2:1, and after going from Missouri to Oregon was able to make the return trip using the same oxen... so...there's that...

    Cool old jack, looks like maybe it uses gears instead of the "walking pin" mechanism the modern Hi-lift uses. Clearly the good ol farm jack is and always has been irreplacable for overland travel. I wish I could find a picture of a guy on a camel with one, that'd prove my point and really bring this discussion around full circle...

    Cheers

    We get to Ruidoso at least once a year and need to look that up next time we go.

    Found some interesting trails up around Capitan.

    Are you from that area? My in-law live in Alto.
