The only house inbetween where you are and Faxon. Knock on the door, tell them you know Ray Walker..they will probably put you indoors for the night if you don't want to come the full 27 miles. At the 23 mile marker is Chattie...I can come get you and take you back there the next morning to continue your journey. Let me know.M.

I wish I was with you ...You're tough travelers! I wish I was with you to help with the walking. I have yet to encounter heat that makes me wilt. I'd enjoy the challenge. The hottest I think I've ever encountered wasn't in the desert, but in the Everglades. About 100 degrees with what must have been near 100% humidity. Brutal. <br /><br />It certainly will cool off and the days will be glorious for traveling then. But, I can see that the incredible people you are meeting along the way make it all worthwhile. <br /><br />That sure is some leather shop that David's got. I'll bet you were admiring lots of his tools. <br /><br />Buster and I had fantastic rides last night and tonight. In addition to team sorting, we have been working diligently on a big challenge - picking up the correct lead when cantering to the right. For a horse that never was asked to do that for the first 17 years of his life, and has no muscle memory on that side, it can be a real challenge indeed. <br /><br />Some experienced trainer friends of mine are helping us and giving me lots of exercises to do to help Buster use his front and hind quarters independently and get to where we can depart smoothly at the canter in that direction. Buster is trying so hard. He's such a good boy. And we're making great progress, but it will take weeks or months to get this down. Fun!<br /><br />Travel safe. Try to stay cool.JackieBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01425329981363519619noreply@blogger.com
