Here are some pics from our travels down Hwy 3 on the east side of Lake Ontario.
On Sunday I left Sackets harbor and we made it to south of Mexico on Wednesday, where I’m staying with some old dog mushing friends.
It was so hot out…Roxy has been a real trooper and is showing some real skills as she handles the traffic and heat. She is a really nice horse, I look forward to many years together with her. She still busts out a trot on occasion and her fast walk is to die for. We are making tentative plans to do some endurance racing with her after she’s rested up in Guatemala. More on that later.
I don’t recommend #3 during busy season. I’m going to stick to “white” roads on the map from now on- the “yellow” ones are too busy. Coming from the border, they’re weren’t a lot of options til yo get south of Lake Ontario.
Of note, I helped an Amish family load hay with their Belgian work horses. That was pretty sweet. I’ll upload a video sometime to YouTube. I will write more about the Amish experience later as well.

Hi Chris, I’m lovin’ your virtual road trip from my office chair, and envying you. Great pictures, Roxy’s a real trooper. Health, wealth and happiness to you both!

Happy Trails
It was fun meeting you from astride my QH mare. Glad you survived the fisherman of Port Ontario and the perils of Rt 3. Wishing you and Roxy safe travels and many adventures!
Thanks. We’re leaving mexico today.
Thanks so much barb. We’re in PA now.
