After breakfast on Wednesday, those who want to take an overnight packtrip prepare a sack lunch and head for the barn.  As soon as the regular rides and all-day ride clear the barnyard, we'll mount up and follow the packhorses into the high country.  Stopping for lunch on the way in a beautiful meadow surrounded by pines, we arrive late in the afternoon and set up camp.  To minimize our impact on the environment, we go to a different site each week, some with wide vistas, some near crystal clear streams, but all in gorgeous scenery and isolation.  Each family gets to set up their own tent while the wranglers put the horses out to graze and Jim starts supper, a great meal you won’t forget.
