The horses and I got an early start and said our farewells to my mom at 8:30am. It's so nice having my mom’s help loading Takoda with the panniers since they are uncomfortably heavy to lift at the start of a section before the horses eat a night’s worth of feed. We had an ambitious […]

On the next morning after arriving in Lander, my mom and I were at the Ford dealership bright and early. Thankfully Lander is a much nicer town to be stranded in than Rawlins. After we dropped the Ford off, my mom and I along with our two dogs and a duffle bag of dirty laundry […]

We had a short day ahead and the plan was to try to beat the heat and arrive in Rawlins, Wyoming, before 2pm. Takoda and I set off 21 miles south of town, covering dirt roads and unmarked trail, i.e. going cross country, for the first 10 miles. After that the trail followed alongside a […]
