"Dust in the Wind" Butterfield Stage Coach Journey

 — (MDT, UTC-06) — (MDT, UTC-06)

Ft. Wallace to Monument Rocks

"Rick Hamby, of West Plains, MO will lead his seasoned crew on another trail expedition featuring the same authentic stagecoach he first rode as a 5-year-old when it was an attraction at Silver Dollar City. I know that these folks have traveled over the country on at least 12 or more of these incredible adventures. The upcoming trip, as always, features American history and the same stagecoach, built in the 1880s in Concord, New Hampshire. It once served on the Overland Stage Lines, delivering mail and passengers, and was officially retired in 1905. In a remarkable coincidence, Hamby at age 39 stumbled upon the stagecoach he had long remembered as a child and wasted no time buying it." Barry and I met Rick several years back when "The Journey" traveled through our area of southwest Kansas. On that special expedition, Barry witnessed their stagecoach wreck in Dodge City (no injuries to man or animal) and then got to experience riding a horse on the original Santa Fe Trail ruts in New Mexico. Out of those images, Barry wrote "The Journey" and "Ruts of the Santa Fe Trail". Our friendship has deepened over the years along with our faith in Jesus Christ.
