I'm at the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center at Flagstaff Hill outside Baker City. Cost $8 to get in and see the pioneer interpretations. There's a cool gold stamp mill and a mine here too. You have to walk a mile and a half from here to see the ruts. No way in biker boots and leather. I'm driving to the roadside viewing point recommended for the differently abled and elderly. :)
Fast forward 15 minutes. Made it to the ruts. Yup, still rutty after 150 years. Cool. The sign says you can tell they're the real Oregon Trail ruts because there's a center rut where the horses walked. Wait, I don't see a center rut. Those deer tracks on the pavement sign look kind of suspicious too.
