Across the US by horseback for Akha Human Rights.
We pause at Douglas, Wyoming, in part because we are out of diesel, but we are on the way home with horse Hampton, in a used but solid trailer. I can’t say I mind driving now, but I can’t say I mind riding either. Course Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa might test the mettle of anyone out for a day’s ride.
A great view in Wyoming:

A great Akha woman and a great horse. Michu and Hampton.

A few recent pictures of the drive west on the last leg of the Ride for Freedom.

We’ve been traveling 470 days today.
As we slowly progress west, taking time to raise funds for more diesel while we pause in various towns, the weather changes, and for the first time we see mountains again. Real mountains.
Writing on the journey, and reflecting on all the people we met and keep meeting, passing the story of the Akha people to as many as we can.
America is a great country and we met so many extraordinary people.
