Wagon Travelers

www.riverearth.com - describes the adventures of Bernie Harberts - Bernie is a fellow adventurer, writer and documentary film producer. He has spent the past 11 years sailing a boat solo around the world, traveling muleback across the USA (East to West) and on his latest adventure he has just returned from crossing the US North to South, while following the ancient inland sea.  The latest adventure was made by traveling in a wagon pulled by a mule named “Polly”.

www.twomulesandawagon.com Good friend John McComsey has pulled out from Henry, TN for Phoenix, AZ with two mules pulling a wagon and a supply trailer. John recently completed this amazing journey.  This is a very good website that I highly recommend.

www.slow-express-journey.com is the website for my very good friends, John and Thea Verhoeckx.  They are a Dutch couple who have spent the last year and a half traveling around Europe in a Caravan, pulled by two Haflinger mares.  This is a very good site and very interesting story. I highly recommend their E-Book, available on the site.  Lately John and Thea had a bad wreck with their wagon in the Chezch Republic.  As of September of 2009, John and Thea have settled back into a normal lifestyle for a while.  But, I bet they’ll be back!

Lee’s wagon is pulled by three Suffolk Punch horses. As of September of 2009, Lee was on the road and traveling in Montana.
