Like the person said they likely did over 100 miles a day, in a very near perfect situation that is. If they did 100 miles a day it would not have taken them so long to get from one place to another and indeed some people just went as far as they could and settled for whatever area they stopped in. If that person thinks horses or oxen can pull wagons for a 100 miles without rest, food, or water, that they didn't need to send scouts on the trails ahead to see if they were passable by wagons, and that there were no other problems like Native Americans, Mexicans, Bandits, Wild Animals like Bison, Bears, Mountain Lions, Wolves, Rattle Snakes, Gilla monsters, Floods, Drought, impassable mountains, valleys, salt flats, those and many more make it next to impossible to do 100 miles a day. At the time, I'm almost certain that if they came across a Prairie dog town they'd have to go around it because the wagons would have sunk. I think the person who gave that answer was thinking there were no obstacles and today there are relatively none if you don't run out of gas or your vehicle doesn't break down for some other reason. I would say that 50 miles a day on an average would be on the high side and that means crossing the mountains in summer where the chances of heavy snow is much less sorry for the long answer but I can't believe that no one was familiar with life without trains, planes, and automobiles. Remember though they brought water they had to find potable water before they camped for the night.
