Glenda (left) and Don Cole (right) visit with Joe Yocom last Thursday night at Cecil
is, when there wasn’t a party to
attend. 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.”

The weeks of riding in a
covered wagon showed on Joe
Y ocom ’s
sunburned,
weatherbeaten face. 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
