10/9/11, Missouri Valley, IA - I continue to play the Man’s Game here at the Nuclear Plant in Nebraska, pining away the time as I wait for good spring driving weather. Next weekend, I’m heading back to La Garita for few days. I need to pick up some more hay for the lads, renew a few friendships and deplete the local trout population. Lately a couple of new adventurers have hitched up a team and hit the road. Mark and Deb Harris recently put a nice looking team of Belgians in front of their version of the Biscuit Wagon and started heading south from Perry, Michigan. Here’s a couple of links: |

Like many Americans, Deb and Mark found themselves victims of the recent economic downturn. Jobless, with their home foreclosure, they followed in the footpaths of our pioneer ancestors, hitched up a good team and hit the road. (It’s getting to be a real trend lately - ha ha). Deb and Mark are also inspired to spread the good word in their travels. Somehow, I bet the Harris’s will find everything they hoped for in their journey. Not only will they bring hope, interests and dreams to many, they will also find themselves on the adventure of a lifetime. According to my Cousin Tim, who helped get the team ready for the road, Mark and Deb were inspired somewhat by my own travels. Like me, I hope you follow and help them along on their quest however you can. |

Following that, the plans on continuing his journey to Charleston - I’m trying to talk him into “Wagon Training” with me as I head to Montana next Spring. Lee the Horselogger - is heading towards the east coast. He’s currently in Wyoming and hopes to get across the great plains before the snow starts flying. (I hope he brought his long underwear).
