Happy Thanksgiving to Our Supporters
2007-11-22 00:06:00
I am so overwhelmed with the support you have shown. Your words of encouragement and wonderful donations are what help us to keep going. This journey has been very challenging in many ways, but the kindness of the people we have met has made it all worth it. We have received so many e-mails that it may be some time before I can answer each one individually. A lot of the e-mails have inquired as to our route. In Missouri we will travel on Highway 60 to Poplar Bluff where we will then travel southeast into Tennessee. We haven't mapped out our exact route in Tennessee, but we know we will be going across the Northern part of the state to Nashville. We are still looking for the safest route from Nashville into North Carolina. If any of you have contacts with the Highway Patrol, State Police, or Sheriff's department who could be of assistance with routing please have them contact us. I will update our route as soon as I know what Highways we will travel. As of this moment we are in a c...

Server Transfer Status Update
2007-11-20 14:55:00
I'm sure everyone is wondering why the 503 service unavailable pages keep popping up. Because the word about our journey has been spread so far, the volume of visitors has increase greatly (not only people directly browsing, but also accessing our rss feed, etc). The new server should be able to handle the greater volume of visitors we just started receiving a couple weeks ago. read more

Test Ride: Bill Trys Out a Lightweight Saddle
2007-11-19 22:50:00
Timberline Saddle Company has given Bill one of their Sidekick saddles to test. The Sidekick is a lightweight saddle which features a specially designed shock-absorbing panel system. All saddles made by Timberline feature this panel system, “which accommodate all gaits in motion.” A representative with Timberline brought the saddle to us while we where in Springfield Missouri. Bill will provide feedback to Timberline on the saddles durability and performance. Timberline Saddle Company: “No other saddle will provide what a Timberline saddle can. The fit of the saddle adjusts and flexes with the horses motion to provide pain free movement while being ridden. The fit never changes during any kind of motion.” read more

IX Web Hosting Blocked Site
2007-11-16 01:28:00
Our hosting provider blocked the site because of the huge number of people accessing the site. Im working on a dedicated server. I had to comply with the web host and throttle the max concurrent connections allowed at anyone time to 100 in 60 seconds. I'm really sorry, we're working on fixing it. But the good news is that we have had enough donations to pay for the hosting.

Emails and Donations | Thanks Main Street Feeds
2007-11-13 19:03:00
I tryed to reply to some of the many emails we have gotten, but now Brenda is ready to move and that means Bill is riding. He got a late start as there was a thick fog here in Monett, Missouri, which could prove to be a dangerous situation in heavy traffic. We want to thank Main Street Feeds here in Monett. They helped us get a place to stay for the evening, provied some hay and other stuff and also allowed me to use there internet. I'm actually in their office now. They are working on getting a website, but if you need to contact them you can find their number. I also want to write a post with a list of the people that donated and will do so in this format - Bill I. I'll try to get access to internet as soon as possible. read more

Queenie Grass Game
2007-11-13 17:38:00
Brenda's dog Queenie loves to snatch grass (or anything else you throw) out of the air. Queen is getting older and isn't quite as fast as she use to be and is missing a few teeth. Still she is in good health. Queenie is a Queensland Heeler cross bread with a rat... I filmed this while we stayed at Joyce's (our friend in Fall River) parents house. The video is too bright, i usually work on these videos in my car. To keep from having to start my little Honda constantly to keep the juice flowing I turn the brightness down, also the LCD isn't very bright anyway. So i miss judged the brightness. read more

Just a Quick Post
2007-11-07 16:20:00
We haven’t had any comments lately. I believe the spam controls I have set should keep the site free of most, if not all unwanted garbage posts. I’m going to allow the publishing of anonymous comments without my approval; I hope this will encourage people to use that functionality. read more

Arrival :: Wichita ? Local Resident Puts Up Crew
2007-10-29 21:29:00
The newspaper articles we have been in help spread the word about what we are doing and where we are headed. A Wichita resident saw Blackie in the paper and decided to take a ride outside of town to see if he could find him. Tom Elliott remembered the horse’s name when he found him with Bill on his back, but couldn’t remember the riders name. He found the horse and rider halfway to their lunch brake. The two got to talking, and Tom invited the horse… Bill, and the rest of the Uncovering America by Horseback to his place when we got into town. read more
