I've always wondered how people like the Barkleys traveled at night. Jarrod often worked late in town and several times Victoria drove home alone in the dark.

Not every night had a full moon, so how did they do it?

If he's traveling by buggy or buckboard, he could hang lanterns on it. But by horseback, that would be pretty difficult.

Riding horses at night is fun. Horses do very well in the dark. It would be hard if the horse was not familiar with the area.

A wagon or buggy would need a road to travel on.
