In this week’s episode, Lizzie and Arden discuss the disturbing events that occurred with the infamous Donner Party! Join them as they uncover the journey the party took to the impassable mountain pass, the major mistakes made by the leaders of the group, and why you should NEVER try a new route that hasn’t been tested, especially with a ton of wagons!
