Transportation facts

My horse and wagon is made up of a home made wagon of wood and is covered by a wool cloth. The most we could travel in one day was about 45 miles then the horses will become extremely tired. The ride everyday was good since nothing really happened so it was a easy ride. The best part was when we traveled in the evening and we saw the beautiful sunset over the horizon. The worst part was every 5 miles we had to stop and get out to feed our horses and rest.
