Yocom said that there was a celebration at many of the stops along the way. Yocom said that several of his children and grandchildren rode with him a while on the wagon and his son Jack was able to drive the wagon. While the weather wasn’t always perfect for the people on the train and their period costumes, the rain and cool weather were just right for the horses. After the Cecil stop, the train headed on to Oregon City, which would be another 19 days. “ I’ll be glad to get back home, get back into the groove,” said Yocom. “ But it’s been so neat.” Back to preschool night set in lone By Anne Morter Creative Care Preschool of lone starts its school year next week, with classes for three and four year-old children.

But for Yocom, of Lexington, it was all worth it as he lead the train down the Cecil hill into his home ter ritory. And over 900 people join ed Joe and the wagon train in a celebration at Cecil on Aug. 19. Yocom, who followed in the footsteps of his great-grandfather, joined the Sesquicentennial Wagon Train June 25 at the Wyoming border. “ I’ve met a lot of people (on the wagon train) that will always be friends,” said Yocom. “ We help each other and do whatever it takes.” While the high point of his journey was leading the wagon train into Cecil, the low point, says Joe, was leaving his prized mules along the trail. His crippl ed mule moved along pretty well, he said, but just couldn’t trot to catch up after delays. Bert Silcock, an organizer of the Oregon Trail Sesquicentennial celebration, who lives near Boise, volunteered to care for the mules and Henry Weinhard will bring them back to Lexington. But in the meantime, Joe had to buy a team of horses so that he could continue on the journey. A day on the wagon train starts between 4 and 4:30 a.m ., said Yocom. Usually he had the horses fed and watered by 4:40 a.m. The train very seldom traveled later than 4 p.m. and averaged about 18 miles a day. After the train stopped for the day it was dinner and more chores— Joe worked putting the hard sur face on horse shoes. And then it was to bed around 8 p.m. That j J •*..** H • . . «•-• Slicker Binder 799* M u m ' j 217 North Main * * _ Special « » ea .* - D a m 676-9158 ^ 79« * - il INC %} ’ ”• •; ;V s - »•'* «v
