It’s amazing how many people I have met on this trip that I can truly call friends. During the past month, I’ve gotten a pretty good idea. The route I took down to Odon was one I had traveled last winter and was full of people whom I definitely call friends. Then when I got down to Horse Progress Days, there were dozens of my friends, many of them traveling hundreds of miles to get there. It’s interesting, but with the wagon, I’ve developed a lifetime of close friendships every couple of months. If they took the time to study it, I’m sure this phenomena would have the Sociologists scratching their heads.
Last December, we had a warm welcome at the Shank farm, so I pulled in for the night. Carlen and his son Steve have made us real comfortable. They’ve also given me a couple of new bales of alfalfa to replace some hay I had that was damp - thank you!
It’s about time for a shower and a comfortable bed, so it’s time to sign off (no I’m not going to hitch the team and travel down the road while I shower). I have to save some excitement for later in the trip! Goodnight.
