Bicentennial Wagon Train Aims for Valley Forge Arrival
The New Pioneers Cross Country Backwards team notes they have driven since youth and describe faster pace than 1800s settlers. The Bicentennial Wagon Train travels east toward Valley Forge, averaging 16 miles daily with 4.3 mph current pace, using metal ball bearings and ba- rium-coated shoes for longer wear. Theater majors perform nightly shows highlighting American identity as the train stops in Lawrence and moves to Olathe, following a hay trail from two tons daily feed.
