I was hoping he was going to deliver an Oregon Trail, something like:

"New York to California in 5 hours?! That used to take 30 years, you die of dysentery, your oxen would get ill and you'd have to float your wagon across a river. Now, you watch a movie, take a dump and you're home."

Finally. An Oregon Trail reference that remembers that fording the river never, ever worked. Caulk the wagon and float was the way to go.

The FaceBook group is called "I tried to ford the river and my fucking oxen died" for a reason.

it worked if you were starting really late in the season and the rivers were very low, but then the heat would get you later.
