I had just been told a story of the wagon trains going over Donner Pass (northern California), of their having to disassemble the wagons and hoist the pieces - plus the cargo - plus the animals up one side of the mountain and down the other.
I was told this story just before zooming down I-80 through the pass. It's only been 170 yeas or so since those wagon trains were there. Much has changed since then, as was brightly obvious that day.
We live, still, in radically changing times.
