Man Counsel

Here is a case of a man taking things into his own hands.  Bill Inman is riding his horse, Blackie, from Oregon to North Carolina to tell the stories of hardworking, honest everyday people in rural America.  Bill and his horse, a 16-year thoroughbred-quarter horse mix are averaging 20-25 miles a day along backroads.   His wife, Brenda, drives ahead in a pickup and horse trailer filled with water and provisions for Blackie, three dogs and themselves.

The two estimate the journey will cost them $45,000. They also would like to to make a documentary film and write a book, and a filmmaker and Web site operator are tagging along.

Man Counsel salutes Bill and Blackie and wishes them well in their future journeys…  We just want to know where we mail the check (seriously).
