I saw this on another site. Not something I would do but looks like fun or maybe not!

I have read a lot in that blog Michelle. I am somehow attracted to that entire thing. Not a cowboy in any sense of the word...probably wouldn't or couldn't do it now, but I am fascinated by those that do....<br /><br />We had a couple guys that lived here in southern NM for years...not together but they each had a small covered wagon pulled by a burro and a burro trailed along behind....they traveled the I-25 corridor, north in the summer, south in the winter...<br /><br />They are both gone now...dunno if they moved on or died but I see no-one where one of them had a basecamp&nbsp;for deep winter.<br /><br />We also had a guy come through here on a riding horse and pack horse. He was interesting...he just wandered the west for several months at a time and worked somewhere for the rest of the time....interesting in that he had a solar powered set-up for his camp and turn signals on the fiberglass pack panniers....he also wore fabric motorcycle gear and helmet....interesting to the max.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Bri

Wow those guys certainly would have been interesting to read about! Signals on the panniers? Now that's cool! I've only read one post and I am hooked. Good reading material.

Endeofthetrail.com is anothe one, Bernice Ende is a lady long rider amazing stuff to follow, there are few more, Ron Dakotah (rondakotah.com) also traveled for like 26 years with his horses, one more fellow goes by Lee the horse logger, you will have to google him.

I had the opportunity to meet Bob and the "boys" of Wagonteamster. &nbsp;Good guy, GREAT horses and incredible trip.<br /><br />Did you know this is his second trip? &nbsp;He was hit from behind by a semi on his first one. &nbsp;He was almost killed and all but one of his horses were.<br /><br />Amazing to see him out there again.<br /><br />Happy Trails!<br /><br />-- &nbsp;Kevin<br />http://chasinourdreams.blogspot.com/

Hey Kevin, actually his horses Joyce and Doc survived, if you look at Doc's butt there is a pretty&nbsp;significant&nbsp;scar, He gave Joyce to a semi retired home. She was one of his last&nbsp;Percheron's he ever bred, been following Bob before the accident and donated to their recovery, amazingly the oil company (truck) that hit him fought&nbsp;&nbsp;paying out for damages.....it's a great blog! http://www.wagonteamster.com<br /><br />edited to add another adventurer's blog:<br /><a href="http://www.riverearth.com/">http://www.riverearth.com/</a>
