Currently, the planned path will take me from s. central Saskatchewan (starting near Craik) south to just north of the Montana border, west through Saskantchewan, Grasslands Nat'l Park area following the Frenchman River into Alberta, possibly by way of the Cypress hills, possibly into the Old Man on his Back are, continuing west and south, along the Milk River. Once I get to the Pincher Creek area of Alberta, I will head north via the foothills and front ranges of the Rocky Mountains to the Banff area.

By neccesity, events will need to be close to my route as the journey progresses, the path of which will be partly determined by the events that are booked.

The long distance ride on horseback will be primarily funded by money raised during these events. At this point, I am still thinking of how to deal with funding of events. In the past, I have simply made it a 'free will offering' as they say out east. It seems a good way to go about it and I will likely go with that.

I hope to have some solid stuff up here in February 2011.

"In the very earliest time, when both people and animals lived on earth,
a person could become an animal if he wanted to
and an animal could become a human being.
Sometimes they were people and sometimes animals and there was no difference.
All spoke the same language.
That was the time when words were like magic.
The human mind had mysterious powers.
A word spoken by chance might have strange consequences.
It would suddenly come alive and what people wanted to happen could happen – all you had to do was say it.
Nobody could explain this.
That’s the way it was."
