DAY 10 - Wednesday, June 11

Classroom started with advantages of mules over horses, then a lecture on packing pointers and "do's and dont's," plus a talk and demonstration on safe trucking and trailering of livestock. Then we reviewed on mantying and Decker packing; everyone packed loads on a mule and we took a five-hour ride over all kinds of obstacles and terrain, each leading a single pack animal.

My turn for Camp Jack chores. Had to get up even ahead of the wranglers to haul water for the cook tent, help LeRee' cook breakfast, and have the table all cleaned off and set for mealtime. Still have to sweep out the outhouse and tack shed before the day's done, and make sure plenty of kindling is split.
