While not planned for until the end of the year, a series of events have played out that have made Bryce and Jessica pull the plug on the podcast. Join us for the last time and find out why.

Water your oxen, pack your hard tack and don't forget to keep your powder dry as Bryce and Jessica take a deep dive into The Oregon Trail: Journey to Willamette Valley. A tile laying adventure of expansion, discovery and dysentery! Joining them on the trail is Westward American Whiskey. A single malt, stone fruit and barley based brew out of Portland, Oregon.

Also on today's show: fun facts about the real life Oregon Trail and a cocktail recipe that will be just what you need to help wrap up this year's Summer season.
