COMPUTERIZED TRAIL GAME BECOMES REAL SEPT. 29

 

The Oregon Trail computer game comes to life during Oregon Trail Live starting at noon Sept. 29 at the Willamette Heritage Center, 1313 Mill St. SE, Salem. During the event, teams of four will face challenges like hunting, grave digging, caulking and floating their wagons and carrying 200 pounds of meat. The event also includes a ‘Grueling Pace Challenge’ for those who wish to get a taste of the punishing physicality that results from walking across the country.

 

A hoe down celebration will take place after the Oregon Trail challenge.

 

Registration begins at noon, with challenge activity starting at 1 p.m.
