Tumbleweed Crossing: Kentucky

Retired Tumbleweeds

A big Thank You to all of you that have followed Tumbleweed Crossings for the past 15 years.
       As of today the Tumbleweed Crossing has gone into retirement. In August we sold our home in Rio Rancho, New Mexico and moved to Bedford, Kentucky. It had been in the works for about a year. The end of August we made it to my sons home and will be living there until we can find a place to buy for ourselves in this area of Kentucky. The above photo is of my pony, Traveler, in his new home.
       I do not believe a Tumbleweed would grow in Kentucky. There is lots of green grass and trees which for us is a bit strange. But I do not miss the blowing sand of New Mexico. There will be many different plants, animals and new adventures.
      I will continue to put my photos on a new blog that I have decided to call Different Trails. Please visit us at   https://differenttrails.blogspot.com/ .

New Mexico to Kentucky

My son, Dustin, has moved from New Mexico to Kentucky. We are thinking about it. So------he talked me into going with him when he took his four miniature horses (ponies) and my two ponies on a trip from my home in New Mexico to Kentucky.

Loading his mini, Lucky, into the trailer.

Loading my larger pony, Traveler.

We left at about dark and this is the first rest area we stopped out. We were still in New Mexico but almost to the NM and Texas border. Here they even had an area with pens for unloading horses into if you needed to but we didn't as our ponies had never been trailered very far and we were afraid we wouldn't be able to get them back on. I think there should be lots more rest areas with pens for horses since so many people travel with their horses.
