It is not every day that you see someone riding horseback along I-30 with a string of pack horses, but that is what travelers witnessed going through Franklin County on Monday, March 14. Chris Blethen is riding to New York City in an effort to raise awareness of children with cancer. His goal is to raise $3,000 which would be $1 for every mile of his trip. For more information, see the March 17 edition of the Mount Vernon Optic-Herald.
