Day 126
Home of horse boxing?
July 31st, 2010
I'm walking across America.
That's the idea, at least. I'm walking westward from New York City for nine months or so. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be in Oregon when the clock runs out. If nothing goes according to plan, maybe I'll end up in Peru or Mongolia or Pennsylvania. You can read all about the details of my trip if you're so inclined.

Here's my progress so far:
Without gloves on……………..wild horse PAINS will result.
Amazing what they will do for entertainment in Montana.
That is the first pic I have noticed with the grass all dry.
“just put one foot in front of the other and soon you’ll be…………”
Did you see any wild horses Matt? Noticed it too, Bob, the grass is all dry in this area.
We don’t get the humidity and rain in the West during the summer as the mid-west & East do. It’s green & lush until we get into July/Aug, then the grass and ground plants dry up because the weather gets hot & dry. When the occasional summer thunderstorm comes along — perfect conditions for lightining strikes to start wildfires.
It’s the home of the annual Wild Horse Joke Telling Contest. Note in the logo that Horse #2 is telling Horse #1 a joke, and you can clearly see his reaction to the “punch” line. He’s getting a real “kick” out of it.
:)
Heard the one about the human pushing a cart from coast to coast?
No, what’s his name?
Green, mett-green.
Well, if it’s matte it aint fulbright, huh?

I heard the rolling stones played here.
interesting, the website listed on the sign reads Plains Empty Chamber
Matt – will the bear repellent work on wild horses as well?
Do they have cow punching, too?
Love it Lock……they do punch doggies (not dogs in case PITA is reading) out there in cowboy country.
Thanks for the slice of AMERICA that most of us will never see.
“put one foot in front of the other and soon you’ll be ……………………….”

There’s a wild horse plains in south australia, between adelaide and port wakefield. it looks a lot like this, minus that big mountain of course! you’re an inspiration to so many.
