+lahontan Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Perhaps this would be to narrow but being a fan of western history I would like to see some category that has to do with the Oregon Trail. Historic points along the route, wheel ruts, monuments erected by Ezra Meeker. There are a lot of different things that could be included. What do the people say? Am I repeating what someone else has already proposed? Link to comment
+Dew Crew Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 The other weekend I was up in Wyoming/Nebraska and was thinking about a category like this. As far as I know nobody has proposed this idea yet. Link to comment

So, go ahead and create your group, write up your category and go for it!! Do send me an invitation. Having grown up practically on the trail itself (Pendleton, OR) I'd love to be a part of an Oregon Trail group1 ~~silverquill Link to comment

Am I repeating what someone else has already proposed? Actually this was suggested way back before group management came online: Oregon Trail There was also discussion about a specific Lewis & Clark category. But, there were dozens and dozens of category suggestions flying around back then. As far as I know, there is no attempt to award categories to the FTP (First to Propose). So, it is up to the person who is willing to do the work to form a management group, do the homework, and write up a good category to put forth for peer review. My advice is to get your management group, then hammer out the category particulars. Havning grown up within walking distance from the Oregon Trail (Pendleton, OR) I'd really enjoy seeing what comes from this! Link to comment
