Choctaw Trail of Tears

We have always been proud of our Choctaw Indian heritage. This photo is my oldest Son getting ready for the 500 mile Choctaw Trail of Tears ride from Mississippi to Durant, Oklahoma.

At 61yrs Old, he is in better shape than I was at 30yrs old!

Butch, you have good reason to be proud. I wish your son and the others a safe and memorable trip.

Good job, Butch! I’d be crying after 5 miles!

Butch,
The Trail of Tears comes through our part of SW Arkansas. If your son is headed this way let me know and I will go out to cheer him on, and provide cold water!
All the best my friend.

I rode 100 miles once. It wasn't that bad. Now, 500...No way!

 

[JSH]

Wow, I don’t even like to drive or ride 500 miles.

This is called a ride, not a race. They stopped and viewed historical sites on the way. He does usually competes in the Hotter than Hell 100 mile ride in Wichita Falls, Tx yearly and a ride on his "gravel" bike in Stephenville, Tx yearly for about 60 miles.

You're blessed, and she's extremely lucky... many don't get to see great grand children at that age.
May you get many, many more years!

Did they start this at the Choctaw Indian fair? Its the next county up from me and just concluded, I think. Or it may have just started?

 

[butchlambert]

It started in Philadelphia, Ms and ended in Durant, Ok.

Yep, just up the road from me, I had no idea they did this. Hope they have plenty of water.

Yes sir, it is over with this year. They had plenty of support vehicles and supplies.
