This is a perfect example of 'ancestral memory'. The Gaels/Gauls/Celts traveled from Europe to Russia all the way to Tibet, & millennia later from the Russian Steppes back across Europe to Portugal, & then by boat to Ireland. They traveled overland by wagon trains. The 4 wheeled wagons of the ancient Gauls & other Indo European tribes were pictured in ancient wall drawings. In India they became part of the Mandalas, the oxen became holy. In the US, the old instinct revived, wagons west!

Thank you for these wonderful videos! We rode with all three Wagon Trains during the Susqucentenial of the Oregon Trail. The Wagons even stayed over night at our Farm, & we were in charge of the authentic encampment at the END OF THE TRAIL CELEBRATION in Independence,OR. Your videos are great!

Thank You!
