Family reunions are usually scheduled well in advance so that people can plan to be there. Although of course every family is different and more sponstaneous gathers are possible.

BUT however it was scheduled … The year, the one single year, that you are going to do the Epic Ride to Carry Forward the Tradition and Become a Real Man Just Like Grandpa … in that year, you miss everything that is in conflict with that schedule. Including blocking out the training and prep time, although in his case that seems to have been about 5 minutes.

Am I detecting a pattern that after he has done some days of longer rides (we are told), he suddenly has a change of plan that gets him out of the saddle for a week or so?

Texas roadsides transition to a trailer ride to Wyoming in a cush modern truck cab.

Wyoming trek transitions to a layover of some kind in Montana … and in fact, noting that it is taking him a long, long time to “traverse” Montana. (He’s still in Montana, right?)

Montana 100 miles in 3 days - we are told - and now suddenly he’s on an airplane to elsewhere.

I might be wrong, we don’t have much detail, but something like this seems to be going on.

I’ll bet his horses are celebrating his absence and sending cards to him at the reunion with the message “Don’t Come Back!”

[MunchingonHay]

Yea, as far as we all know he is still some where in western Montana/ Idaho border. The TT tag is Bitterroot Valley but we don’t know when that was taken. And he is known to post videos a few days after he as been in an area.

There looks to be 4 airports in the Bitterroot Valley. Unless he rode up to Missoula. There is a Delta plane in the shot from this morning /yesterdays video. I am not putting any effort into finding which small airports Delta flys into.

I bet he has the horses with that Lori lady or the woman that helped him the other week with the shoe issue. The other day he posted riding a quarterhorse named Val at a cattle function and Lori confirmed the horse was Val from another poster inquiry on who he was riding. They seemed quite chuffed he was on their horse.

I am more interested in the next chapter of this journey !!! s/

@MunchingonHay

How much do we want to bet that he abandons the horses?

I think I bet a box of donuts last week

Kalispell Missoula and Bozeman all have non-stops to Minneapolis, a common Delta hub

[BrownDerby]

I pity the poor saps who have to sit next to him and listen to his blather.

IF that!

“They seemed quite chuffed he was on their horse.”
In a word:

@BrownDerby How wrong would it be to try to get onboard Marshall to cuff him?
Duct tape his mouth shut would be a fillip, but maybe hard to justify

[BrownDerby]

Unfortunately very difficult I imagine. He’s not breaking any laws. Plus we don’t want him turning it around to turn himself into a martyr. One of my concerns about the people who are a little too strident in tracking him.

[2DogsFarm]

It was just a fantasy, imagining myself seated next to this blowhard

Agree on the martyrdom

[BrownDerby]

Maybe he’ll throw a fit because they don’t have his brand of beer or something and he’ll get cuffed upon arrival.

[ShenanAnna]

Because of his total lack of people skills, I’ll bet he’s quiet and apparently shy when there’s not a camera in his face. Unable to deal with real people. The folks he’s dealt with " on the trail" seem to come up to him, because of his initial nationwide media buzz. And he doesn’t always treat them very nicely …

I bet he wears his cowboy hat-- nay, his entire cowboy outfit sans chinks-- on the plane.

[BrownDerby]

Yeah, his chinks that he calls chaps.

Probably his Go Pro too.

[Paint_Party]

Yup, ‘cuz he’s just a lonesome cowboy, comin’ in from riding the range, and he had to hop on this airplane all quick like to go visit the city folk.

Somehow I foresee this all getting buttoned up with a tidy bow in a week or so, complete with an insipid photo shoot and some words of wisdom that he’s gleaned from his journey.

[2DogsFarm]

And then, like any Good Cowpoke, maybe he’ll just fade into the sunset.
Never to be heard from again!
I can hope…

[phantomhorse]

FWIW, a poster in the facebook group following his antics says that it was the Missoula airport.

I’ll be he abandons his fit along with the horses and boards the plane dressed like he’s going to the beach in Florida. And has never seen a horse in his life.

Only if Falcon and Pete get very lucky .

[Paint_Party]

I think the fate of the horses could go one of two ways. Either he’ll get a cash offer for a modest, undisclosed amount and crow about the sale as if he got a fortune, or he’ll leave them in the care of ____________ and claim he’s searching for the proper forever home… but instead slink away, and ultimately “give” the horses to the landowner.

[ShenanAnna]

Agreed, although I suspect he’ll just abandon them completely. “Businesslike,” “responsibility,” these do not seem like words in his vocabulary. It I don’t even think he’ll slink, as that requires some awareness of wrongdoing and maybe some knowledge of responsibility to animals you own. Heck, he abandoned his dog to go on this trip.

His video touting horse’s good points, to generate big bucks offers to buy, is notable because Knucklehead only talks about poor horse’s color. What a knowledgeable horseman.

The video also demonstrates, again, how ignorant/uncaring/just not noticing Cereal is about other people. Not a word about stuff a buyer might like to know, deserve to know, or need to know. Is he actually autistic, naive and uneducated, just a real jerk, or what? I don’t believe it’s the jerk, although he sure acts that way. He seems more like an only child who never interacted with others much at all, and wasn’t smart/aware enough to figure it out by himself. His awareness of the world outside of himself is spectacular for its nonexistence.

He may even not return from his plane trip to resume the journey, unless there’s enough hoopla planned for his ever-changing “finish line.” Even then, he may not return. See first paragraph in this post.

O missed that salient point.
But I bet the dog is glad
