Ruth and Curley can be found in either Rockport or Salem and can cater to someone’s wishes for a carriage ride before and after weddings or for special events. Imagine this- you take your girlfriend or wife out for a nice dinner and then have Ruth pick you up after dinner for a nice carriage ride where you pop the question or just rekindle a little romance.

I first met Ruth when she became the sole female contestant in the Passports Rogue Burger Challenge where she put in a very respectable showing even beating many men twice her size. Unbeknown to me Ruth had just gotten out of a yoga class and wandered into Passports off the street all disheveled so when it came time to handing out nicknames for the Rogue Burger Challenge the nickname “Homeless Ruth” was born.
Here is some video from that day-
