In reading over some old posts on my blog about my pack trip from Eagar to Flagstaff, Arizona in 2016, I came across my post about a device charger I bought and realized I never made a report on our experience in using it on the pack trip. So, here it is. I have linked … Continue reading Gear Report: Mini Q battery device charger
I thought I’d write up the first few days of our Eagar to Panguitch trip this year, so our followers would understand what took place to cause our current delay. Last Tuesday, our departure day, we got out to my pasture, where the horses were kept, and started sorting and packing our gear. Of course, … Continue reading The story of our first five days…
This post will cover Days 20-23 of our pack trip last year. Day 19 left us camped out on a hilltop overlooking the Phelps-Dodge mine at Morenci, Arizona, just north of the northeast end of the Gila Box Conservation Area. We were only about a mile or so west of US 191, just south of … Continue reading Days 20-23…From the Gila Box to the Blue Range Primitive Area…Second Edition
On Day 9, Sunday April 19, Dad and I had spent the day in camp at the mouth of Whitetail Canyon. Feeling refreshed, both in body and spirit, and the horses and Clancy being well rested from a day of rest, we were ready for the trip across the desert to Safford, Arizona. Â Joshua Jensen … Continue reading Days 10-15, Crossing the Desert to Safford
Have you ever had one of those days in which everything just had to work exactly right…and then it did? I had one of those days today. This week I had a number of things on my plate that just had to get done this week, because there was no other time to get them … Continue reading One of those special days…
Day six, for Dad and me, was both tough and wonderful. We had made our first fifty miles and all was well. Now we had entered the first range of mountains along our route: the Chiricahuas. We were excited to get off the dirt roads and onto some mountain trails. Joshua Jensen and Al Smith … Continue reading Day Six
To review a bit from my last entry about the first leg of our Mexico-to-Canada horse pack trip last year, we left off with the end of Day Three and Dad and I camped in Half Moon Valley, just outside the Chiricahua National Monument. After a good night’s rest, the cloudy weather having cleared up, … Continue reading Day Four
Ok. Finally. I’m going to do it. I still haven’t finished going through all the video footage. I still haven’t learned how to trim, edit, and finish the videos with the software I have. I still don’t have all the photographs organized…But I’m just going to get started. Blow by blow, I’m going to lay … Continue reading Day One – Mexico-to-Canada – The Chronicles!
As I was looking through the video footage of last year’s first leg of our Mexico-to-Canada horse pack trip, I found a video we did, documenting our process of making camp one evening. It was Day Four of the trip and we had only been able to make 10.5 miles that day, due to rough … Continue reading Making and Breaking Camp On the First Leg of Our Mexico-to-Canada Horse Pack Trip
It took us longer than we planned, and my estimated mileage was slightly off, but the first leg of our Mexico-to-Canada horse pack trip is complete. We departed Eagar, Arizona on Friday, April 10, with the help of family and friends who drove trucks and hauled trailers stuffed with horses and gear. We arrived at … Continue reading The First Leg is Complete
