650 Miles On Horseback - ALONE | Engels Coach Shop

What was it like for a lone rider in the American West? This is my journey to try to answer that question for myself. I wanted to experience the life of a lone rider, as close as is possible in today's life style. Granted, we have paved and gravel roads, lots of fences and cattle guards today, that they didn't have to deal with 100 years ago, but still I wanted give it a try. This is my story of my experience in 2009.

This one came up, and I thought wow boring, skip this one. again and again recommended.
So I thought what could a few minutes hurt, just to stop the recommended.
I sure hope you all read this far, so I can confess, the most wonderful time I have had in awhile, wishing I had my health and was a day or two younger, so I could experience this joy of life. Thank you very much for sharing this life journey and the new friends along the way. I say thanks again and hope you have a wonderful day.

That was great, so few of us these days have the opportunity, maybe don't make the opportunity to go slow, enjoy life without modern incumbrances. Thanks for sharing your memories, a great story.

Thank you for sharing your long ride. I don’t do long rides anymore but I will go out and remind my three of how much fun it was to ride under the sky with just the wind and birds to keep us company. I’m glad you kept a journal. What a treasure! You’re a wonderful photographer too.

[johnjulian]

just caught up with great story. I almost shed a tear. You did something I have dreamed about. Thanks for sharing . This world has changed so much last 150 years. Can't say it's for the best. No turning back now. Good Luck my friend .

[richardcorwin]

Thank you for sharing Dave. What you did is something that I have dreamed of for a very long time but never fulfilled as life got in the way.

Wonderful memoir, Dave.
(This day made me laugh: "I came upon the Wertheimer's, they were gathering cows". He asked me, 'You rode from where?' I told him, "Joliet". He says, 'You did that on purpose?!' "Yep".)
Cheers!

Beautiful story, wish could have gone with ya. School teachers should use this story while teaching about days gone by.

[anthonyfreeman]

Not many people, these days, would even try to do what you did. An adventure of a lifetime, possibly retracing the steps of some long dead or forgotten Cowboy. It sounded like fun, but it had to be trying at times. Great job documenting the journey. You did a great job.
