The end of the Oregon Trail..
Gaston drained the sacred lake, the Wappatoo, so he could grow onions.

Got fucked on the Willamette Valley Line Railroad, swindled and ass kicked he came here, where the other ones that came over those mountains alive but were too late for the Willamette Valley, they came here.
Killed everything they could
"Reclaimed the Land"
White men said they could and that was true, they could
Enslaved the Chinese
Japanese
Indians
White men on a mission

Today, we're having a hurricane, with snow
Probably, later, it will rain fire
