It's the way you ride the trail that counts.

I did not walk every step of the Trail of Tears at one time. Instead, over the last 20 years, I have walked various segments of it in Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Arkansas, Missouri and Oklahoma.

There are very few things I've done just twice in my life, 40 years apart, and one is to backpack on the Pacific Crest Trail across the California/Oregon border.

It's fun to be a little bit different in the world, to make a few new trails of your own.

I only knew basic western trail riding. Nothing fancy.

I've been on the road since 1967.

I could never resist the call of the trail.

I've always been pretty nomadic.

I've had a long, long road with lots of ups and downs. But that's all behind me now.
