For those of you who have participated in a wagon train event of some type, we have nothing of the sort in our area. I have toyed with the idea of organizing one, but really have no idea what to expect. It isn't practical for us to travel the multiple days for us to participate in one, but I could easily do a single or two-day event locally, though I have spent many nights away from my farm, and camping out with my riding horse or team. We have some great Lincoln-focused history in our area, and could easily set up a train to retrace some of his steps. I think it could be highly educational for some locals, and would likely be a huge hit, (based on our personal team/wagon is loved in the area). I am curious though as to what exactly is involved is organizing such an event?
Really just curious and trying to gather info from those who have organized one or even participated in one--steps you took, registration/requirements, safety arrangements, inspections, participant requirements, legal issues/arrangement, things you liked/disliked, whatever! Thanks in advance!
