Absolutely.
Good to be here.
Yeah, I mean, that was such a great assignment.
I took my camper and my dogs, because my wife had to work, and we spent about a week traveling down portions of Interstate 80 across Wyoming and Nebraska, which followed the Oregon Trail.
And I stopped at Scott's Bluff in Nebraska.
It's sort of one of the big, iconic landmarks on the Oregon Trail, but it's kind of in the middle of nowhere.
And it really struck me as I was talking to people there, what an adventurous spirit that we have as people.
You know, many of the people on the Oregon Trail, their families had just come from Europe a generation before their parents or maybe their grandparents.
These were relatively new families to America, and they really went west in search of a better life.
You know, that obviously had a lot of consequences for the Native Americans who lived there.
But it was really this this adventurous spirit, this idea of like, well, what's what is on the other side of the hill?
What is over there?
Could things be better?
I'm sure they could be better.
I was really struck by that in the course of my reporting on this story.
It really does.
I mean, I live in the West.
And so for many of us, the Mississippi River is the border to the East.
It's also a massive superhighway of commerce.
It floods.
