After a long day of riding, it's a
wonderful thing to come around a bend and find the support crew trucks
waiting for you! It's Camp Time!
The crew will have already delivered
everyone's gear and begun setting up the picket lines and showers. The
catering crew will be working on dinner.
Camp life is on the primitive side, but we do provide water and hay for
the animals, good homemade meals for you, showers, and outhouses. For
beverages, water, juice, coffee and tea are provided, and we have no
problem with alcohol, but we learned long ago that we make lousy
bartenders. So bring your own! Likewise if you are loyal to a specific
brand of soft drink, please bring your own.
As soon as your stock is secure at the picket line, it's time to set up
your tent (unless you sleep in your wagon), take a refreshing shower,
and just relax and hang out with new and old friends.
After dinner, you're welcome to socialize as late as you please, so long
as you keep the sound level down for those who wish to retire early.
Whether or not we will be allowed to have campfires will depend on this
year's fire situation - it is getting harder and harder to get a
campfire permit, due to drought and wildfire potential.
Mornings begin with the Wagon Master calling out "TIME TO FEED THE
PICKET LINE!" It's time to get up, water your stock and feed them so
they have plenty of time to eat before starting down the trail. Pack up
you gear for the support crew
Then it's time for breakfast, packing up, tacking up, and off we go on
another days' adventure. |
