Where’s the hand crank for that router. It does take electricity….

2 HP engine?

I was thinking about the term Horse Power and how it has survived in the US all this time. Most of the world uses kw I believe to measure output.

I thought @Neal meant the horses. Now power up that router. Giddy up.

Compared to today's typical coach, those older models seem more off-road capable back then.

And much more reliable! Either the people knew how to fix their own equipment, or the coach manufacturer knew what customer service was, and a little about quality!!!

I'm convinced that certain areas in the west were initially populated because the wagons broke down. Either no trees to make the wooden parts and/or lack of skill. By the time you met someone travelling east and sent to St. Louis for a wagon axle and wheel and it arrived a year or more later, you already built a dugout and had a farm planted.

I can buy into that posability. But do you have any proof that documents it???

Just stories past on from long ago, told to me by the old timers in my youth. I grew up in an area where the wagon trains crossed the prairie along the Goodnight trail. These stories were part of the tradition of the Panhandle. I've seen the dugouts and mud brick cabin ruins.

Pioneer spirit, square dancing lessons in school, working the farm, were all part of just about anyone's childhood. The ONLY radio station in town played both kinds of music...country and western. We got a rock station when I was in 4th grade and I remember a fiery sermon denouncing it. I saved up and bought a transistor radio from TG&Y so I could listen privately. It wasn't allowed in the parlor.

Yah, and the Bible doesn't have any errors!

If you have been to the RV museum in Elkhart there are wagons representing the early camper. No doubt we would all be out on a wagon train west if we were there. Looking for an adventure.
