The Fearful Crossing Revived

During the month of September, 2024, ETI Corral 14 plans to host a 60-mile wagon drive from Lovelock to Fallon, Nevada. The drive will follow the Carson portion of the California Emigrant Trail, including a portion of the forty Mile Desert that was used by pioneers in the mid-1800s. This wagon drive was recreated in the mid-1990s by Bill Adams but has not been done for many years. 

Participants will arrive at the Lovelock Fairgrounds on Saturday, September 14, Sunday the group will shuttle vehicles to an offsite location where they will remain for the week. The wagon train will leave Monday morning and arrive in Fallon Friday afternoon. The drive will end on Saturday morning, September 21. Each dayโ€™s drive will be approximately 15 miles. Wednesday will be a layover day. 

This drive will be patterned after the Corral 14 Death Valley wagon drive. Visit Corral14.com to see pictures from past years. Wagons and outriders are welcome. This trip requires experienced driving animals in proper physical condition. Everyone must bring their own food, prepare their own meals and sleep in their wagons or tents. Animals must be staked out and there will be support vehicles to carry water, livestock feed, a freezer for meals, and portable toilets.

To be added to the Fearful Crossing information email distribution list, contact Jeanette Hayhurst at [email protected] for more information.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
