How long would it take to get to each of the landmarks on the Oregon Trail by wagon?

I'm doing a project for social studies where we write a historical fiction. We have prompts about each landmark we go by, and the things that happened there. We write them in journals. I need to have a date for each entry, but I have no idea how I'm going to get the correct dates. How long would it take to get from landmark to landmark? Here are the ones I need...
Independence, Missouri - Blue River - Kansas River - Fort Kearney, Nebraska - Ash Hollow, Nebraska - Courthouse Rock - Chimney Rock - Scott's Bluff, Nebraska - Fort Laramie, Wyoming - Independence Rock, Wyoming - Sweetwater River - South Pass - Steamboat Springs, Colorado - Soda Springs - Fort Hall, Idaho - Fort Boise, Idaho - Valley of the Grande River - Colombia River.
I just need to know how long it would take them to get from each one to the next one. I put them in order already, I just need to figure out how long... And I mean by wagon, like they did when they used to cross the Oregon Trail. Not by car. Help?

Horse drawn wagon 3-4 miles an hour.8- 10 hours a day, minus rest stops.Find the distance between each place on google maps and do the math yourself.
