Honestly there hasn’t been a Tony Peterson podcast, YouTube video, or “film” that I don’t love. He’s intelligent, well rounded, and just a down to earth Midwest man. His quick wit and humor have me loving everything he is apart of. Low key love that he seems like one of the few people that can give Steve shit and get away with it or just doesn’t care. What do you guys think?
I absolutely loved these videos. Super light hearted and fun. Randall absolutely cracked me up just gradually getting redder as the days went on.

He's already passed the halfway point, but this has been so fun to follow along with.

On October 5th, Lachlan Morton will set out on his next challenge: racing across the American West on one of the nation’s most fabled routes.
>Lachlan is going to try to ride the route of the Pony Express faster than the horsemen who carried mail from St. Joseph, Missouri, to Sacramento, California, during the heyday of the legendary 19th-century postal service.
>He admires the courage of the young riders who signed up for that wild, high-speed horseback relay across the prairies and mountains that connect the western states.
>“The way they could get mail across the country at that speed – before there was any railroad connecting it – was revolutionary,” Lachlan said. “The idea of people traversing such massive distances just captured my imagination, especially knowing a lot of that terrain. Think of these big open spaces – huge plains, mountain ranges – and you imagine a slow transition, but with the elevation and the vegetation it's always evolving, and when you're covering big distances you get a really diverse variety of riding. It's a great canvas for adventure. It's existed there for so long, and you feel like you're participating in what the country is all about."
>The Pony Express was founded in 1860 with the promise to deliver mail across the West by horse in 10 days or less. The fastest recorded time for the 1,966-mile (3,164-kilometer) route, which crossed Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, and California, was set in 1861, when young horsemen carried Abraham Lincoln's inaugural address the distance in seven days and 17 hours, changing horses every 10 miles (16 kilometers) and riders every 75 to 100 miles (120 to 160 kilometers). They carried the message that helped persuade California to remain in the Union.
The guys who posted his fucked up old shitters earlier reminded me about the one that I found on some local game lands a while back. Unfortunately I found it after submissions for the calendar closed.
When your two years late to the party and you find not 1 but 2 fucked up old shitters in the same day.
