We were arriving near the end of Part 1 of our Great Adventure, our Crawl Across America Trek. There were very few horse motels between Pontoon Beach, Ill., and Union County, Tenn.
And it was way too much of a drive to try to make it in just one day. We did need to try to break it down into two days on the road.
We chose a horse farm in Lexington for our final night on the road, based on the fact that it wasn’t as far off our route as all the others seemed to be.
