"We know why they did it, but we don't know how they did it. Because once we saw what we saw—and we're like tested ultramarathon athletes—we just kept shaking our heads, like, how did they ever make it? Just sheer desire and will."

Bob Crowley, Hal Hall and Tim Twietmeyer are discovering American West tales and trails. Join them as they chat with Luis about their upcoming trip called Survivors & Heroes Expedition which is a 120-mile horseback journey reprising the heroic 1844 Sierra Mountain crossing of the Horseback Party of Six highlighting the untold story of the Stephens-Townsend-Murphy Party. In this episode they discuss the logistics of the trip, dealing with the elements, how they research the route, the gear used, horses, the Donner party, who is going on this trip, why they are doing this trip, and how hard it was for the original travelers to traverse this route.
