beyond the stream. It seems like it.

Keep an eye on 'em, will ya?

Don't let 'em waste any more lead.

Are you gonna

go after 'em?

That's better than them

coming in after us.

No need for you

to go out there.

I know it.

I'll move in. You

try and call one up.

Five of'em.

Less one.

Stay here.

I'll send you an oriole.

And one makes five.

You'll do exactly as I say,

Jeremy. You'll drive slowly.

And two hours rest

at noon.

What about the Shoshones?

They might come back.

I doubt it. Indians or

not, I want a smooth road.

No bumps,

you understand?

How's Laura this

morning? Fair to middlin'.

And I hope

to keep her that way.

Morning!

Good morning.

Say, about that shirt,

I'm sorry.

Why? It needed scrubbing.

Did you find it? Mm-hmm.

Well, thanks!

That's real nice of you.

What with the excitement

and everything, I thought it...

Uh-oh. Oop! It was in the bucket

I used to put out the fire.

I'm afraid it's

a little scorched.

Yes, slightly. You can put out

fires with sand too, you know.

Well, Laura, five, six days,

we'll be in Portland.

We'll take a nice, easy trail and

go slow. Think you can take it?

I'll take it.

You're going with us?

No, I picked out

another star last night.

A big fat yellow one

hanging over California.

/t's all full of gold,

and /'m gonna try and find it.

We'll miss you.

Thanks.

Here's a present

for you, funny face.

Sorry you're not comin'

along. I'm not much at farmin'.

Or ranchin' either.

Uh-huh.

Well, I'll be seein' ya.

Yeah.

Wagons, roll!

Giddap there!

We'll go slow, Laura, and take it

nice and easy. Giddap there, you!

Hyah!

Come on,

keep movin'!

Giddap there!

Giddap there!

Keep movin'!

Hyah! Hah!

Giddap there!

California's back that way!

I know!

Hyah!

Yah! Yah!

Course, you could swing west along the

Columbia River, head down the coast.

That's what I figured.

About this business of ranchin', are

you sure you're gonna go through with it?

Very sure.

McLyntock of the border,

a rancher.

I don't get it. Who're

you running away from?

Giddap there! Yah! A man by

the name of Glyn McLyntock.

Well, what happens when

he catches up with you?

I don't think he's going to catch up

with me. He died on the Missouri border.

You're wrong. He'll catch

up with ya one of these days.

Does the old gentleman

know about you? Nope.

Want me to tell you what'll

happen when he finds out?

Maybe I'd rather wait

and find out for myself.

Blow that whistle, Adam.

We got wag...

We got wagons

comin' to town.

Tie her down

and let 'er whoop.

Yes, Captain Mello,

I got her down.

Got her blowin'

fit to bust.

Fit to bust!

What happened?

She busted.

We never should've
