Adventures of a Horseshoer

This will be my first attempt at blogging and opening a bit of my adventures to many others.

For myself I was at one time a wilderness instructor teaching rock climbing, caving, kayaking, backpacking, and simply just living outdoors. I made a great escape into the Artic to act as a guide and mush the most wonderful four leggeds in the world into the Gates of the Artic National Park this became a short stint due to calls to come back home but travel runs strong in my blood so opportunities again reared its beautiful head and a chance to live in Romania presented itself. Here to teach riding and guide equestrian tourism treks. Three months turned into two years. The beauty and adventure to be found there is unbelievable! Returned home to start a shoeing business and live near family for awhile although my shoeing business expanded out as far as Montana and north to Bandon Oregon which covers quite an area considering I live in Northern California near the magic of Mt. Shasta and the aquatic delights of Shasta Lake and Whiskeytown not to mention the rivers. Here is where the bikerdog Spur and his companion Kermit humor me into adventures kayaking and riding the harley. These little souls of conquest share their “two legged” with the noble steeds Shez It and Sarge whom carry us into the Trinity National Forest, Lassen National Forests, and many other mountainous treks. So I hope that everyone will find something interesting and inspiring in following footprints and creating our own.
