Remember, once we hit the trails there is no turning back. It is important you have all of your belongings ready prior to arriving at the ranch.
There is very limited cell service on this trip.
We highly recommend packing your gear in a waterproof duffle / garbage bag.
Washroom facilities are generally the great outdoors or a "thunder box".
If you are staying additional night(s) at the cabin, please pack that gear separate to keep the pack trip gear to a minimal.

There's no place like the open road...
