Get immersed in history with a living history character! John “Snowshoe” Thompson, carried the mail across the Sierra Nevada mountains over winter snows for 20 years. He would carry his 80lb mailsack over the 180-mile round trip in just 5 days. He handcrafted his own snow skates and would carry nothing more than a jacket, dried meat, and matches.
