Packing it in Redux

Jennie and I took her sister and her husband, Courtenay and Joe, on a packing trip to White Ranch this past weekend. This was our second attempt, thus we are now experts that have it all figured out. Hah! Not really.

Initial packing. We did a much better job packing this time. We needed only one additional packing bag even though there were two more people. Our pack saddle outfit came with three bags.





It was very windy and cold during the afternoon and evening.

Jennie led the way with the horses while the three of us hiked in. Notice the canvas bag on top of Anne, we didn't use it on our first trip.





Pit stop. Cody carried the horse food while Anne carried almost everything else.



This time we chose campsite #4 because it is very close in proximity to the provided corrals.




For dinner we planned on having Lucky Bean soup and hamburgers. The buns got left behind, so we ended up having flat, round, patties of ground beef instead.






Heading Back




I rode Cody and led Anne most of the way home this time.





Courtenay gave it a try too. Great job!
