Setting up our Lone Horse Camp

Over a few days from the end of July and into August we headed out to Lone Horse Camp to finish setting up and get ready for all of our pack trip guests. We set up tents, our cook shack, tack room and high lines for the horses.




On the trip in, Chuck’s front springs on his wagon lasted until about 500 yards out of camp – but with the help of some friends we were able to patch it up for the ride home. We now have new springs and an awesome ride!



Terri’s parents also came along and were a great help setting up. We had a couple really hot days so we took a bit of a break and headed to the river to cool off - here Taylor relaxes in her 'hot tub' with her canine buddy.

Heading home...we head back to base camp for a couple days and greet our first pack trip guests when they arrive.

WE'RE BACK!

Hi everyone...we're back! We were out of cell and internet service for the month of August but we see we've got lots of hits on our blog and web page while we were gone so thanks for checking in! So stay tuned for some blog updates from the summer and some great pictures on our website and Facebook pages.

Weddings by Wild Deuce

Last weekend we hosted a beautiful wedding for a beautiful couple - Marie and Henry. The ceremony was held at the picturesque Hummingbird Falls, a short drive from our Mountain Base Camp.

While their chosen wedding song played in the background, the bride rode down to meet her groom on a shining white horse.

Their vows were exchanged in the company of friends and family, on a rock outcropping overlooking the falls.



Henri then led Marie on her horse down the trail into the setting sun.
After some photos were taken, we returned to our Base Camp - Henry and Marie arrived a short time later by horse drawn carriage, driven by Chuck. The family and guests celebrated after a wedding supper prepared by our chef. The following day the couple went for a ride on two of our horses, Diesel and Farmer - of course followed by cameras! (They did, however, spend some time alone in our honeymoon suite!) A great wedding and a great weekend complimented by sunny skies and warm weather.

July / August Contest

The Mountain Cattle Call....

Here is Kevin tacking up his Wild Deuce appointed horse!


The guys and one girl rode along with the cowboss for three days of riding, roping and doctoring cattle. They were given a horse and were responsible for their horse, getting their gear on each morning and enjoying the weekend. We also included a beer tasting and on the last night anyone who wanted some gear branded got it branded! We also had a reporter from the National post on this trip and we look forward to his article!
