I was on my way to school on Monday and this is what I saw:
Not normal by the way......I had to stop for a second and double-check my surroundings. Then I realized I was still in my Jeep (not a wagon) and I still had my cell phone (life-support) and I was safe so I continued to school and made a mental note to check the Digital Courier for more info. And here's the story:
Oregon rancher Bill Inman and his thoroughbred quarterhorse, Blackie, left Oregon last June and headed East on a trek he calls "Uncovering America by Horseback". Two deputies met him at the Rutherford County line and escorted him out Hwy 108 and into the Ruth township where Mr. Inman stayed the night. He is accompanied by his wife and son, neither of which are making the trip on horseback. Their cross-country voyage will end next month when they reach Washington, D.C. where Inman wants to share is story with our Nation's Leaders.
Mr. Inman took the time to share some his experiences with our local newspaper on Tuesday morning before he and Blackie said "Farewell" to Rutherford County and rode off into the distance.
Okay People, honestly, how awesome would that be? To ride across the country on horseback, living life like they did back in the day? I wonder if he's had to shovel any POO along the way? I'm sure they don't take kindly to that sort of thing in some places!
Above is a picture that Shellie took of one of the deputies, Julie Davis! She's a long time friend of the family! Awesome!
