Friday, April 12, 2019 – Travel Day to Greener Pastures

With only 120 miles or so to go today, we left at our leisure in the morning, with a quick stop at the dump, then we took back roads up to a little town called Lamont, home of world famous Paso Fino breeder Robin Ratliff has a spectacular horse farm. Acres of rolling hills make the name absolutely appropriate, and dozens of horses running around made for a beautiful sight. Along the way, we had an unexpected Ag Stop (DO NOT TRY TO BYPASS THESE, THEY WILL COME AFTER YOU!), unexpected because I thought they were near the border, so I was planning on printing up my TN passports over the weekend so we would have them before heading into Alabama, but it seems it's not the border that's the dividing line, it's the Suwanee and St. Mary's Rivers! Never knew that! Anyway, I managed to find our most recent Coggins, and showed him the passports on my computer, which he was happy to accept. Glad to learn something new today! Anyway, we eventually arrived at Greener Pastures, met Robin and her helpers, and before long, were set up behind an outbuilding that included small apartments for her help, a laundry room and a carport where her truck was hooked up to a gooseneck horse trailer that she kept ready in case of emergency. The horses got settled in paddock, and we got settled down to our dialysis routine, which once again went perfectly. Another quiet evening on the road, which gorgeous views of horses grazing everywhere. Gorgeous!
