On March 1st, 2010, my friend Walter and I set off on an adventure with my Arabian horse, Sojourner. I rode Soj across America and Walter drove our little truck (with no trailer). The trip began in Los Angeles, California and successfully ended in Bath, New Hampshire 8 months and 14 days later. It was a 3,700 mile ride.
We rode in celebration of family and as an outreach to those dealing with divorce-related depression.
This ride tells a tale of love in many forms - through the people we meet along the way, our connection with the horse, with the land, and with each other.
As this blog goes on it gets more and more in depth with tons of photos and experiences. Snuggle in with a cup of tea and read this like a book. I have switched the blog around so it reads start to finish so you don't have to read backward (except the first entry).
Here is our story...
33 miles today...

Very tired. Don't think I will have much service here in desert. Writing from phone now. Might not be able to write much over the next 7 days or so. Ride was nice today. Soj is doingn. well.
Can't wait! This darn blog is getting seriously addicting.
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of like Snoopy. I can imagine myself on this grand adventure without leaving my own home. :)
