Oregon Trail
We're bringing this classic computer game to life!!
Begin your journey from Independence, MO (Camp Crockett) through the Oregon Trail (Mountaineer Trail) to reach Willamette Valley, Oregon. The trail is long and the journey is rough! You'll face many hardships along the way - including starvation, thieves, freezing conditions and more. You'll also hunt and stop at forts along the way. Score cards should be picked up at the Parks and Rec office (front porch). You'll need to bring your own pen(s) to mark your score cards. Then head over to the Clore Trails to begin the game. Trails should be pretty well marked - just make sure you stop at each Trail Card and follow the instructions. This game will be up for the month of November. You should be able to play multiple times - occasionally we will change out pages to make the game a little different for frequent guests! The entire trail is almost a mile long and follows the Mountaineer Trail (entire outer loop of the Clore Trails). Be sure to watch your step - there are tree roots hidden under the leaves! The Oregon Trail at Hoover Ridge has been adapted from the computer game and from Pressman's board game. FREE family activity!!! |

We are excited to bring the StoryWalk® to Hoover Ridge! Each month, we will feature a new book along the inner loop of the Clore Trails. The StoryWalk® series will begin November 2.
The book for November is Be Kind by Pat Zietlow Miller. Kindergarten teacher and PRA Board Member Kendall Fears sponsored this book. At the end of the walk, don't forget to sign our Guest Book!! Our StoryWalk® Project is sponsored by Cindy Reed, Remax New Horizons. The StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library. Storywalk® is a registered service mark owned by Ms. Ferguson. |
