You are lucky, Pat. Have hauled my horses up there and
its beautiful country!! Obviously, weed free feed hasn't worked its way
into your National Forest Service offices yet.
Since you're in Oregon, do you know anything about the feed
restrictions over around Baker and the BLM lands? I understand ONLY feed
bought in Baker and three or four counties can be used on those BLM
lands. If not, thanks anyway and I'll just have to go up to the May
Wilderness Clinic in Klamath Falls (going to all these clinics and events and
riding all these trails is rough work, but somebody has to do it -- he, he,
he).

Here in Southern Oregon, we ride a lot of miles on the
Pacific Crest Trail and each time I do, I give thanks that we have access to
such wonderful riding country. No restrictions at all that I can think of.
Camping sites are clean and well maintained. Trails are clear with good
footing. Much of the early spring and late fall, we have to contend with blow
down and it is sometimes a challenge working our wayt around downed trees. The
major thing that I worry about is when off trail finding old down and half
burried barbed wire. On sections where I know this to be a possability, I
often get off and lead.
Our local park service works with the Forest Service to
build and maintain miles of trails above the city for some great close to home
riding. Are we lucky or what?

I have a question for all on Ride Camp, how many of
you have been on rides where camping and/or the ride was done on public
lands -- National Forest, State Park, etc.? When on those public
lands, were there any 'restrictions' (such as weed free feed required,
no horses in meadows, etc.)? And if there were 'restrictions', what
were they? Thanks!

Camp
While I am a proponent of using the delete key if not
interested in a topic rather than complaining, I have become acutely
aware of the low incidence of actual endurance related, or horse care and
training related items on Ride Camp.
I did a quick survey of the deleted (and unread) items
and out of the last 100, 36 had to do with "Actors who can ride".
Except for the welcome contributions of our wonderful
Susan G, I was able to find only six items directly related to Horse care
or endurance.
I find myself deleting whole blocks of items and I
wonder if this is only because so many are snowbound and in desperate need
of distraction....any distraction. Am I mistaken in remembering that only
a couple of years ago, Ride Camp was full of interesting items and
discussions? Perhaps it has come full circle and it is I who am in need of
a different kind of distraction. Help me here, folks.....is it me? I
hardly look forward to opening my e-mail in anticipation of finding fun
and interesting discussion.
I know, I know, my delete key functions just fine. Just
thought I would share.....
