TRAVEL TALKS/AUTHOR LECTURES
RIDING THE OUTLAW TRAIL in the footsteps of Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid …
Is about gruelling horseback journey with Richard Adamson – across 2,000+ miles of desert, mountain, canyon and high plains wilderness, from Mexico to Canada, riding through the western states of New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana - following a trail of the most elusive and successful Western outlaws!
This monumental trek culminated from 7 years research, 3 riding vacations, between driving an estimated 15,000 miles across 9 states of America. In April 1999, 100 years after Butch and Sundance were at their peak and 30 years after the Goldman movie, along wth Richard, I relived an element of a heroic bygone age – for over 5 months we tasted pure freedom and found a slice of the old West that was, and still is, if you know where…
