  1. We could find a big herd of buffalo and have a feast. We could make it to Oregon safely and have a house. We could lose our good supplies and oxen crossing a very dangerous river. If we walk in our wagon one day and out of nowhere there is at least 9 rattlesnakes in the wagon.

  2. On the trail, my family might get an awesome deal at one of the forts where they can buy equipment. We could also find a heard of buffalo and be able to eat for a long time. The bad news is we might lose an Ox from heat stroke or our wagon could get stuck in the mud and we would not be able to go on.

  5. On the trail my family will see a guy to trade our horses for oxen. We will also see native americans and we will trade for good stuff. The bad part is my sister will get sick and my dog gets lost.

  6. On the trail my family will get extra supplies on the trail from the store. And get a free pair of oxen but bad things might happen. Like our wagon will lose its wheel in a river. And our friend will get sick and her family will have to turn home.

  7. On the trail we could find kind Native Americans and they could trade us valuable things. We could find a herd of buffalo and it could last us a long time. The bad thing that could happen is the mean Native Americans could steal our oxen and our supplies. Another bad thing is our wagon could lose all of our stuff in a river and our wagon could sink.

  8. Some good things that could happen on the trail are : having a new brother, seeing a herd of buffalo so we can get their meat, getting a pair of moccasins, getting a Mustang, and not get sick.

    Some bad things that could happen on the trail are : getting sick, someone gets killed, and go the wrong way.

  9. On the trail our family might happen to see some friendly native Americans who will trade some valuable stuff with us. Or, we could not run into any snakes.

    A bad thing that could happen to our family on the trail is that somebody in our wagon train gets out of controll and steals all of our stuff and won't give it back. Also, we could run into a ton of snakes that could raid our wagon train, and everyone gets killed.

  10. A good thing that could happen is that we meet really nice Indians and they give us free moccasins. Another good thing that could happen is we almost run out of food and someone else gives some of theirs.


    A bad thing that could happen is that someone on the wagon train could get hurt. Another bad thing that could happen is one of our oxen gets stolen by Indians.

  16. One of the good things is you will have a guide to lead you the way so you don't get lost. Another good thing is that sometimes you get to ride in the wagon.
