Oregon Trail Simulation: Today we embarked on a new way to track the food supplies in our wagon groups, had our first hunting expeditions and wagon damage.  After the tedious transition to a new recording method, the kids are now tracking their food stores by type (flour, bacon, sugar, dried fruit . . . ) for what we hope will be a more realistic or tangible experience.
