Crossing into Mexico
Here’s my story about crossing into Mexico. To begin, here’s a list of the players that were on our team, to help us get across, easily and inexpensively.

Americans were far more generous to me than expected. And far less interested in the Maya Pedal project than expected. Everyone wanted to know about my trip and my horse, etc.
We have just completed ½ a year on the road. We started in Rockingham Ontario, Canada 6 months ago are now in Caldwell Texas, USA. We have travelled 2242 miles averaging 12 miles per day including rest days. About 20 miles per day on the road. What a weird wonderful trip it’s been.
We left Alvaton on December 26th and quickly entered the cold. We had just taken a week off after blazing thru Kentucky. We were waiting for packages and a sick Roxy to get better. The respiratory infection was addressed quickly and effectively with the excellent help of a great vet Michael Davison.
We started off our Kentucky adventures at the very east part of the Bluegrass State in Louisa. I had met an endurance rider online a few months previous. Amy Wallace Whelan had offered to have me at her place. You can check out Wallace Hill Farm on FB.
We entered West Virginia on Nov 9, via the rail trail from Point Marion. Before that, we got stopped in the middle of nowhere by some strange looking people in a crappy looking old T-bird…
We do around 15 miles a day. I walk up and down steep hills. I have begun to jog and shuffle. I let roxy graze when there is nice pasture at the side of the road. I get on and off her up to at least a dozen times a day.
It’s been a pretty sweet journey so far. Roxy and I are both doing well and we have met lots of great people along the way.
Day 1 was like a dream- it really didn’t feel real.
The best way to get in touch with me is on the road. Trying to contact me immediately online may be harder!
