If you are loving what Bag of Bones is producing & would like to help support the show, please consider buying us a gallon of gas.
This show is 100% mobile & so buying a gallon of gas seemed more fitting than the podcast usual, “buy us a cup of coffee!”
And last we checked, a gallon of gas is cheaper than coffee!
So please, if you feel so inclined, help me keep Bag of Bones rolling!!
Just click the link! And thanks!

In the 25 years that people followed the Oregon Trail to seek out their own paradise despite the fear of the unknown and the threat of Indian attack, they packed up their belongings and ventured out. Sadly, more than 65,000 people died along the way, making that one grave after another across the over 2,000 miles. The Oregon Trail is sometimes referred to as the Longest Graveyard in America.
