Mr . Wilson and GO BOY ’ S MISSING HEIR being interviewed by reporters from San Diego , California
and the San Diego Union .
Pictured is the saddlebag with information concerning the coast-to-coast trip .
since trailering the duo to Charleston the previous summer . The Corums and Dan stayed Saturday night at the Horseshoe Motel in Casa Grande . On Sunday , Wilson and the big stallion headed for Gila Bend .
During the trip the pair endured every kind of weather and condition , from sub-tropical swamps in South Carolina to snowy mountain passes in New Mexico . At one of these passes , they had to wait until snow plows broke open four-foot drifts . Generally Dan would settle down for the night after thirty or more miles and ten to twelve hours in the saddle .
Getting feed for the horse was a problem , since Dan was unable to carry it with him . Often he would buy a hundred-pound sack of grain and leave it after only one or two feedings .
Corum , who owns a lumber yard in Louisville , is picking up the tab for Wilson ’ s expenses , which are expected to total about S5,000 . Corum says GO BOY ’ S MISSING HEIR is exceptional in disposition , size , endurance , intelligence , and in his easy ground-covering gaits .
The memorable journey ended on the same day and place as our first manned trip to the moon : December 27 , 1968 in the Pacific Ocean . The return trip to Louisville , Kentucky was via truck , provided by Corum .
