# SCOTOMAVILLE 01.06 - Hieroglyphics REFLECTION

On the Oregon Trail, Daniel uses Israel's escape and the pioneers to show that history is an excellent teacher if you pay attention. He tells how something kept him recording across many trips. Choosing your ideas is choosing your direction, and the reflection makes that visible.

> That in fact is a choice you make and a direction you take based on the ideas you choose. (Daniel)
