Conestoga is another name for a horse drawn prairie wagon. So conestoga Chuck is about traveling with pets and keeping it fun, organic, and inexpensive in the prairie homesteading tradition of making things instead of buying and making do with less. Enjoying the wild & wonderful and traditions of our pioneering ansestors rather than the material things in life ... while also enjoying the companionship and warmth of our family and pets. Which brings me to the chuck part in our name. Chuck is the beautiful collie mix in the page profile photo. A little play on words with the chuck wagon theme lol hence conestoga Chuck was born. We hope you enjoy our page! Occasionally conestoga Chuck will allow guest writers in the form of his humans ... simply because they type better than he does. Opposable thumbs and all that :) Occasionally you may see some Amazon links in posts for useful items that we have found to be extremely nice to have.
