Wagon Train































Today we drove to Deadwood to watch the arrival of the Ft. Pierre/Deadwood wagon train. they followed the route the 'old' wagon trains took. Notice on the last picture the horse with no bridle. The participants were very happy to be at the end of the 17 day trek. They said they went through some rough country. One wagon tipped over crossing one of the rivers and they flew one person in a helicopter for medical help. Good thing they had their cell phones with.

how does one ride a horse without a bridle? one of my favorite books has the riders and horses without bridles but it is more fantasy than reality.
it looks like he is using some sort of loop around the neck closer to the saddle.

good thing they did have a cell phone or else they'd be in the same boat as the original pioneers!
