Few winter rides

[MULEPACKHUNTER]

2015 was a crazy year and I didnt make 2 hunts both of which were pack ins but we did keep the animals legged up. Just a few photos for fun. Few pack ins planned in the near future so more pics to come.

Wish my winter was looking like that!

Ya but I'll take a little worse winter to have less of an oven in the summer. Good thing is I can drive 2 hours and be in the 80's.
We are packing about 9 animals into a rough canyon on Monday, I'll get some shots and bump them in here so when you guys hit 30 degrees you can remember to get outside

Spent the week in a little pc of equine heaven. Ride was very rough and steep and with the winter hair still on the mules were some sweaty dogs. Spent a few miles under canopy dragging the packs through over growth and catclaw. I think i lost my hat 3 times on the way in and 4 times on the way out. Didnt see another soul but got to see some great history. Elk burgers and pork roast for dinner along with some homemade chili and potatoes. Maybe even a chocolate cake at some point, I dont remember the flavor since it was baked after flask number 2.

The rocks are part of a look out post on a peak overlooking camp, old Indian ruins.

Thanks for posting. Makes me want to saddle up the long ears even though it's cold and windy here!

That looks fantastic!

all I'm doing is throwing hay over the fence to mine.

Ya we do a lot of that in the summer down here. I know your pain.
