Brave the Trail with Flying V: Day 13

UPDATE FROM THE TRAIL: Thanks to JILLIAN RUBINO, BILL CALDWELL, KATIE BUCHER, and JONATHAN ZUCKER our pioneers shot and carried 140 pounds of meat yesterday to keep us fed. In the real world, we started building the set last night! Now at South Pass, there’s a...
