Scott Boldt, the guy who pushed for the original AOTH runs, used to write a quick post on what I like to call “AOTH Eve”, or the night before everyone started to travel to Kentucky.
So here we are. The day or so before the eleventh run of the Awakening of the Horses. People are loading up their boats, their weekend “perishables”, and getting ready for an awesome time on the water and the docks with great friends made over years of attending this rally in the Spring.
Last fall, we lost a great one. Big Grizzly. I have spent some time over the months since his passing wondering what would Grizzly do? Well, I know. He would say just go do it again and have a ball doing it. If you are looking behind you, then you aren’t going fast enough! And so, we will.
So be safe on the road. Check those tires, slow down, and get here in one piece. And get ready for one heck of a great time. The water awaits.
