Ride for Recovery

The reasons I want to ride South from here, Taos, NM, to Tombstone, AZ, are many. My primary purpose is to garner attention for a project of large proportion and scale, namely to initiate the development of as many "Therapeutic Horseback Riding Centers" as possible in the US with the primary purpose of serving our returning Veterans.
I have seen with my own eyes the effects of the power of an animal as big and kind and gentle as a horse on an individual, especially an individual who has been somehow damaged, whether by violence or indifference, from within or without these animals are willing to help. So I am asking you to help us help them, the horses, help them, the Veterans.
I'm still workin' on the details but I intend to ride soon, say September 25Th to be in Tombstone buy the 26Th of October for the Anniversary of that famous gunfight, OK?
Thanks n' Lets' Go Ridin'! MKK

Hi Steve

I sure hope you read this Bro. I wrote it for you and all the brothers that have served and that will. We all serve in our own way but for the cowards. I brook no cowards for I am a cowboy. Hey Steve, remember that ranch in Colorado when they made me an honorary Cowboy? Where you jealous? I finally am growin' into my boots and my Stetson. I love you man and I always will I always have have but, like Dad sometimes it's difficult to admit to the truth.

So here's what happened to Gary

So here's what happened to Gary:
OK so he had the cancer he got in a car wreck coming back from Santa Fe was Jailed with NO medical attention for 4 days was finally taken to hospital life-flighted to Abq. where he DIED about a week later. a lawsuit? I think so.

Attempting to arrange and express my thoughts, plans etc.

I want to ride. I want to ride not only for myself but for others, primarily Vets. We all owe them so much as yet so little has, in truth, been done.
When my Father's generation of Warriors returned from the fighting in the 40's they were welcomed as they were; young men come home. No need then for names like "hero" they were young men, now grown old beyond their years.
My dream with my ride is to RAISE MONEY! Yes I said it I want/need to raise MONEY! Why do I need to raise this "filthy luchre" you might ask? Well read on> to build a camp, no a ranch and Thereon do some serious/fun "rehab" with horses. PTSD? What in the hell is that? I figure if I came back from some battleground in a far away land where people I don't know where tryin' to KILL me and I them, if I where to return from such a situation anywhere and I didn't feel a little "disturbed" THEN I might think I have me a problem. So with the help from the horses, the golden dream of America, the cowboy of both myth and truth, we can get some healin' done, but we need money...

Topamax day

Well I took my dose last night: Topomax, a small amount of the whiskey, one beer, a taste of the mota. No hangover this morning. Good feeling that.
Had to call the cops last night to report "A crazy Woman With A Pistol" in Kit Carson Park. I thought that a buddy may have been shot but no.

My mind keeps reelin', these drugs I'm on help. Topamax helps keep them jiggles at bay, missed my dose last night so feel rough and rugged today.
Well I really plan to get myself to Tombstone, Arizona by the 26th of October. Maybe I will call Steve and see if he can make it too. I'll have an extra horse. My twitchyness is not going to allow mwe to sit and type so I must get out.
THIS is what I felt like in school when I was a kid.
