"On the Trail of the Donner Party " with the Wonder Hussy

In searching the web for a good itinerary for travelling the Donner Parry Trail today, I came across this wonderful seven-part YouTube series by a delightful travel  enthusiastic named “Wonder Hussy.”  You can join me on Donner’s and my trip by following her series, since she did her research well and hit all the highlights of that hapless Dinner (I mean, Donner) arty journey 175 years ago.
