There are a lot of things to write about as we settle in to the post ride life. I can't believe we are almost home. I just can't believe it. <br /><br />Jamie-I wish you found us sooner, too! Altoona was crazy on a horse!! There was pretty much nowhere to go. We had to get up on the highway. It was a really, really nice ride after that though. (And we enjoyed the TJ Maxx there when Walter's mom and stepfather came to visit) :) <br /><br />Nancy-I will stick to bananas. :) Miss you!!!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />Rideasmorgan-Walter and I keep saying that we know we are close to home now because we met a Plymouth alum. The ride on Scotia was awesome-thanks so much for the tip. We would love to come back!!<br /><br />Daddy-we'll all have to keep one another from developing the winter blues. Lots of music, food, leather, riding, and laughs!! That'll do it. :) And future plans... :)Linny Kenney Leatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12462703025386686124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1716200845301236780.post-86037607648518230542010-10-13T16:00:30.493-06:002010-10-13T16:00:30.493-06:00It was absolutely great meeting the three of you y...It was absolutely great meeting the three of you yesterday when you arrived at Kirsten's! and to find out we were both music majors at the same school in NH... unbelievable. Hope you had a nice ride in Scotia today. I tried out a new (to me) rail trail over towards Altoona today - nice. You'll have to come back next year and ride some of the wonderful trails we have in this area. Best wishes on the rest of your journey and for the winter in NH.<br />Pattyridesamorganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05556923095257967752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1716200845301236780.post-88555749068332799432010-10-12T17:24:30.152-06:002010-10-12T17:24:30.152-06:00What you and Walter and Soj have done truly is ama...What you and Walter and Soj have done truly is amazing, as someone has noted above. You will have to have many things to do once here so that you don't fall into a "post project" funk. What you are doing will not be easily topped anytime soon.<br /><br />I loved the little film with the horse rolling and at the end of the clip, he gives a little snort. Yeah! You tell 'em, Soj!Dan Kenneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03887404077632019996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1716200845301236780.post-28950892940237124162010-10-10T20:31:45.106-06:002010-10-10T20:31:45.106-06:00I just discovered your blog tonight, and I must sa...I just discovered your blog tonight, and I must say, I'm in awe! What you are doing is really amazing. I think I have a lot in common with you, which is why I've enjoyed reading about your journey so much.<br />I also grew up near Altoona, so it was really funny seeing those pictures and knowing exactly where you were!<br />I wish I'd have discovered you sooner, as I could have helped you with your desire to meet with an Amish family if you wanted to trek a little further north into PA. We have Amish neighbors at our farm who take care of my horses throughout the week. Oh well, I'm sure you will have a chance as you go through Eastern PA!<br />Stay safe and give Sojourner a pat from me!Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02708531773449385241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1716200845301236780.post-65157786894690475592010-10-10T19:55:59.471-06:002010-10-10T19:55:59.471-06:00The fact that Sojourner can calmly and confidently...The fact that Sojourner can calmly and confidently carry you through fully developed areas such as Altoona is nothing short of amazing. I'm sure that non-horse people can understand, but it almost seems to me that a person needs to have ridden a fair bit to fully understand what that says about the relationship between a rider and his/her horse. <br /><br />I can't imagine that emotions that you will experience when you ride into Danlin Hollow. Assuming you continue this blog, it will be interesting to read about how you go about transitioning into a new lifestyle for you and Sojourner. I predict that there will be a fair bit of camping with him in the future. Maybe with Walter riding as well!JackieBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01425329981363519619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1716200845301236780.post-84777789395212757782010-10-10T19:00:18.312-06:002010-10-10T19:00:18.312-06:00It's the sugar.

A perfectly normal, polite, person will morph into a jittery junky when confronted by white flour and endless amount of hidden sweets, such as sugar cane, dextrose, fructose, maltose, sorghum, turbinado, sucrose, glucose and all the other crystalline carbohydrates. They can't help it. Eat the banana instead. Apple Pie would be o.k., as long as it has a topping of ice cream. All the food groups in one bite. Best breakfast ever.<br />Love you much<br />Nancynancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08226158485996966596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1716200845301236780.post-55392301395109507212010-10-10T10:33:32.115-06:002010-10-10T10:33:32.115-06:00Oh man, I just let out a huge laughing snort. My w...Oh man, I just let out a huge laughing snort. My wife said "What?" I had to read her the continental breakfast story verbatim! <br /><br />As you may have heard me mention before, I was immersed in a career in Corporate America for over 20 years. I could fill a book with those stories. <br /><br />One time I was downtown Manhattan having breakfast with a colleague. I looked over my bill and they had left something off that I ate. I owed the restaurant for the bagel or whatever it was and I wanted to pay for it. So I got in line with these incredibly impatient people waiting at the register. <br /><br />Well, first it took me awhile to get the person at the register to understand that I was trying to give more money because I owed it to them. Then when the people I was holding up realized that I was there to pay for food I could have gotten for free, I think they were about to throw me in the Hudson River! I was thinking "Hey, I'm trying to do the right thing here.", but I don't think they wanted to hear it. <br /><br />Funny, funny story, Linny. Have a wonderful day with Walter's folks!JackieBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01425329981363519619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1716200845301236780.post-25034922759125707922010-10-10T09:01:31.992-06:002010-10-10T09:01:31.992-06:00Why do people say things like that? "You are ...Why do people say things like that? "You are not going to make it, it's too far." The worse part is the fact that polite people have no recourse, because what we really want to say in return is "How do you know we are not going to make it? Jackass!?!?" and what we usually say is something more like "We'll see." No offense to your friend or anything. Glad you are getting closer to the ocean where the sun rises instead of sets. You are an inspiration to us all.<br /><br />When you arrive, you have to keep blogging or I will need to seek medication and therapy for my withdrawal symptoms. :)Stephanie Zinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08602887538181330782noreply@blogger.com
