A good buddy of mine, Ray just got back from a trip with Heroes and Horses.
http://www.heroesandhorses.com/
He had such a great time riding in Montana, and he was so impressed with this outfit and what they do for our combat vets that he's trying to raise money so that next summer he can take a mule train up the Continental Divide Trail (solo, I might add) from . When he gets to them in Montana, he'll donate all of the animals and tack to Heroes and Horses. He's trying to raise $20,000 for the trip (that's animals and tack, not supplies). If he falls short, it might be 3 mules instead of 4, for example.
Ray was a Special Forces Engineer and currently works contracting overseas (how he met these guys - through some former SEALS he works with). I know several of you on the site have met him.
Here's his Facebook page -
https://www.facebook.com/HeroesandHorsesSoloExpedition
And here's the Gofundme site his wife set up:
http://www.gofundme.com/9fh2hs
If you didn't see it on their page, they now have a tab just for Ray's trip:
http://www.heroesandhorses.com/solo_expedition
Ultimately, it's a darn cool trip for Ray and H&H gets a lot of animals and gear for his efforts.
Please help support my good Amigo with a few bucks to the cause. If you feel better donating directly to H&H on their page, we're all good with that.
If you donate to Ray's trip, hang on to some kind of confirmation. I don't yet have it worked out, but I plan on doing a drawing in the near future for 1,000 home made cast boolits - your choice of .45, .44, .357 or possibly 9mm (not loaded ammo, just component bullets that I cast).
Please help this vet help other vets. Back country is good for the soul.
