Answer 1 :
6 months oregon trail
Answer 2 :
They are 1790 miles between Sacramento and Chicago. If they traveled at 5 mph for 8 hours a day they would travel 40 miles a day. If they did this every day they would make it to Sacramento in about 45 days, 1 and a half months. This is if everything is perfect. I would guess in reality it would take two to three months to travel.
