Did Pioneers ride in their wagons?
People didn't ride in the wagons often, because they didn't want to wear out their animals. Instead they walked alongside them, getting just as dusty as the animals. The long journey was hard on both people and animals. It was even hard on the wagons, which usually had to be repaired several times during the trip.

Teams of 4 to 6 oxen or 6 to 10 mules were sufficient to get the sturdy little wagons to Oregon.

How many wagons were used in the Oregon Trail?
It took about five months for a wagon train to make the journey. The first major migration took place in 1843 when a single large wagon train of 120 wagons and 500 people made the trip. The trail was popular until the transcontinental railroad connected the east to the west in 1869.

Many modern beds are constructed with several inches of foam mattresses and metal springs, but a pioneer bed was put together in a different way. The thin mattress was a large cloth sack, or tick, that could be filled with dried grass, wool, or feathers.
What did the pioneers eat?

Where did the pioneers sleep on the Oregon Trail?
The music stopped, the campfires dwindled, and the encampment slept. Did the pioneers sleep and ride in the wagons? Rough roads and wagons without springs made for a very bumpy ride, and wagons were filled with supplies which left little room for passengers.
Why did the wagon trains form a circle overnight?
“To be on the safe side, the pioneers drew their wagons into a circle at night to create a makeshift stockade. If they feared Indians might raid their livestock—the Plains tribes valued the horses, though generally ignored the oxen—they would drive the animals into the enclosure.”
What is the difference between a prairie schooner and a Conestoga wagon?
I often ask guests if they would drive a Peterbilt up the Blue Ridge Parkway?

The sideboards were only two feet high.
