After a day from climbing in the rocks, just as we were walking into camp a truck pulled up. Out steps this inspiring man and asks if he could ask us a few questions. Long story short....Ray Sims rode across the U.S. in 1982. His trip started in New York and ended in Ventura, CA.

He did it alone....and he only rode one horse the entire trip. He shared stories of meeting different people and places he stayed. He admits that things have changed in the last 22 years and certainly not nearly as horse friendly.

He is planning on joining our camp again and bring a friend that has also done some long distance riding. I hope we get to meet her and see him again.

Our hats are off to you, Ray Sims.
