It’s been three months since Oregonian Donald “Dundee” Martin began his journey to hike the entirety of the Oregon Trail. He has traveled over 2,400 miles from Independence, Missouri and has almost completed his goal of getting to Oregon City. He has done this all on foot with nothing but the clothes on his back and a one-wheeled covered wagon carrying his supplies. Martin joins us to share what his trip has been like so far and why he chose to do this hike in the first place.
