Made it to snake lake, it was dry!!! Spent the night got up the next morning and rode to Marsland turnoff. A good friend Steve Klases (in picture along with Kathy) picked me up and brought me to his ranch. I stayed there two days. Borrowed his truck to look for campsites, found a nice campsite in Crawford kept going and found my next site off Toadstool rode, Ardmore was the next campsite (it was the only water with 20 miles). Went back to Steves after I had planned out all my sites. Needed some rest.
After a couple days rest Steve hauled me back out to highway and I rode 17 miles to Pine Ridge and made it to Crawford got there about 10:30 and set camp up.
I was relaxing a bit and making a few phone calls and got some bad news. Found out that a good friend of mine took his life. This really took the air out of my sail. With this news, I made the decision to end my ride.
A friend came and picked me up and I dropped all the horses back off. The last couple days I have just regrouped and mourned the loss of this great cowboy. I am thankful to have many wonderful memories.
I am going to leave the website open until September but will not be posting anything.
I thank everyone for their support. Thanks to all that tracked me, donated and helped me along the way. The money will be going to St Judes Research Center in Memphis Tennessee.
Happy trails to you all..... Ross
Condolences my freind. I wish you a safe trip back home. Give me a call when you get around to it. I am looking forward to working with you again soon. I will have a drink for you and your freind Hank. Godspeed Cowboy...

sorry for your loss, ross. i am a friend of Lee, and wanted to thank you for your ride and donation to St. Jude's. my 7 year old great-nephew, nicholas, is at St. Jude's receiving treatment for an inoperable brain tumor on his brainstem. St. Jude's is a wonderful, loving, nurturing place. Nicholas has received many treatments and has been sent home with his parents with the report that the tumor has shrunk in size. we are grateful to God, and grateful to you, ross. happy trails, and God speed :)

Too bad you couldn't have stuck it out & actually made it to Mexico like you originally advertised! You would have made tons more money to help out a good organization!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe next time you can actually make it all the way!!
