"Hello, my name's Annie and I'm lucky enough to be in the company of the first Long Rider I've ever met. Gene is here in Freeman, Missouri and heading for Harrisonville. He's a pretty special guy."

28th November - Warrensburg, Missouri
"We drove upon a unusual sight, on our way to Thanksgiving with our family. There was a man riding a horse and leading a pack horse down a two lane road, just outside of Warrensburg, Missouri. What caught my eye was that everything was orderly, unlike bikers I have seen who travel with their with belongings sticking out every which way. My husband stopped the car and I took several pictures of the serene sight. Gene was in no hurry and neither were his horses. He talked to us for a while and gave us The Long Riders' Guild website. His whole story is very interesting and a witness to all of us to take any adventures that come our way and to be content with what God puts in our path."
