It has certainly been a rough couple days. We are so grateful for all of you out there. I have gone through life without many friends, its just the way I was. I had a lot of acquaintances and people I occasionally hung out with. After the Marines I had my brothers and we lived far apart but we were there for each other as best we could but distance makes it tough, we tend to look out for ourselves quite a bit and try not to be vulnerable. We are tough and strong and need no one...I have grown incredibly attached to the little dragon and during his greatest time of need I realized that that wasnt really the case anymore. You all have shown me such kindness and friendship that it blows me away. When times are tough you find out who is there for you and who is not. Thank you all for being there for us. Thank you for welcoming me home the entire time and telling me Im not alone. Some of you have asked to help with the vet bill and I sincerely appreciate it the link to help with the ride expenses is https://giveforward/fundraiser/ycx3/the-long-trail-home-fund. That being said we still have to go to the Pacific Ocean. We rode into 29 Palms the other night and had such an incredible welcome that Im glad I was wearing sunglasses because I suddenly got dirt in my eyes...I want to thank the Elks lodge here and the all the Girl Scouts of troop 2002 for you did for us. The ride is over for Little Dragon the Wonder Pony but Im hoping to sneak him to the beach when he recovers and get pictures for you guys. We have to get there first and we will do it a bit slower but we will get there so tomorrow we ride.
