This subject of camping with horses is really
interesting to me. Except, what I am planning could be called more of
"camping off the horse". We live in extreme southern Il just north of
Kentucky. We have the Shawnee National Forest. As a part of that there is a
trail called the River to River trail which connects the Mississippi River
to the Ohio River. It is just short of 150 miles long. Several people have done
it in groups and taken a week or longer to do it. They often would use more than
one horse and trailer with LAs.
I am thinking of doing it largerly by
myself and using my best endurance guy and camping off the horse with light
weight backpacker/distance bicyle type gear. I have started collecting the gear
and may get a two day practice run during the Christmas break. I would use food
drops for the horse.
Several of our friends want to have a day or so of
the thing I am planning which is okay too.
