     Long time, no see, but I'm back. I'm teaming up with my good friend and fellow life long learner, Mike Kudlac in a new portrayal of the lives and times of the old west. It won't be long before we begin at Westport, Missouri where early trappers begin their treks to the Rocky Mountains and those who established the Santa Fe Trail using freight wagons that hauled the niceties of the East to those in New Mexico with an appetite in for these goods. 

Post Script: Mike and I never found that part of the Missouri River where trappers and traders shoved off and began their treks west. In fact we found that this port of embarkation was closer to Independence.
