Hey, ya know that totally makes sense...if I was going on my own I would 
have to pay all of the gas anyway - Thinking about it that way, it might be 
more economical for me to just haul on my own.  I have a diesel truck that 
is more fuel effecient and cheaper to fill up, plus I don't have a great big 
huge trailer to worry about hauling.  I was more or less hoping for someone 
experienced to go with.  I would pay more for the trip to be able to ride to 
camp with someone that can tell me a bit about what I have gotten myself 
into!

If there is someone who has some experience and would be willing to haul me 
and my horse I am game and would pay ALL fuel cost, and sign a waiver about 
damages to my horse or me...My horse is a good hauler - 22 years old and 
knows the ropes.

Thanks for the good advice!
