The Spanish Trail riders will enter Castle Dale on Aug. 20. This will be the second leg of their journey. They rode a portion of the trail last fall and have resumed their ride.
Richard Waller said, “I stopped by the Museum of the San Rafael in April 2014 while scouting the Old Spanish Trail for our proposed reride. Our team rode, mules and one horse from San Bernardino Calif. to Parowan, Utah last fall. We are meeting in Parowan on August 9 to begin the second and final section. We will ride the Fish Lake Cutoff across I-70 near where Route 10 connects and then north to Castle Dale. We will be at Castle Dale on August 20. We plan to visit your museum and do a little grocery shopping. If anyone, would like to meet with us and talk about the Old Spanish trail and our ride we would be happy to talk to them.”
Richard Waller is President, Backcountry Horsemen of California and The Los Padres Unit. He said the Old Spanish Trail hasn’t been ridden in its entirety since 1848. He along with two friends and animals Pretty Boy Floyd, Echo and Hallelujah are making the journey.
