The book is about surviving a volcanic eruption. There’s a farmer guy, who has to travel across several states by horse to reach his friends “bomb shelter” type of place that was built into a mountain side. At the beginning of his trip his neighbor, decides to travel with him, and she is also on horseback. During their travels the ash get too thick, so they have to create masks for themselves and also for their horses. At one point the make it to a welcome center where they meet a stranger. They don’t trust each other, and I think the stranger runs off - maybe. But they bring the horses inside the welcome center for a day or two until the heavy ash clears. They do make it to the guys friends bomb shelter where he meets up with a couple more friends that have been traveling in other books to all reach the bomb shelter place.

I've not read it, but possibly Harry Turtledove's Supervolcano sereis.

I'm going to assume all of your searches were for the same series. You shouldn't post multiples; either bump the post or add comments with additional details.
