I guess the ladies I heard this from were more modern.. They said that the whole set of poles, (and perhaps the lodge or other padding...Thanks Lee Newbill!) was on one horse. Then one or more travois, on seperate horses carried more stuff, up to and including Grandmaw. Mike I was just looking to see if anyone had tried this. We did as kids and had mixed success, as any horse person knows. It ain't like hitching a team to a wagon, that is FOR SURE! Oh, speaking of which. In ND we were pulling small stacks with two fours...went down a small steep grade near gramps house and that is when Walt notice the front four didn't have their britchin' buckled. Eveners pushed ahead forced all four to sit on their butts..right NOW.

Our good friend Chargin' Buffler was supposed to be comin' in to camp on Saturday since he had to work late on Friday night. He sent all of his gear with his trappin' partner Doc and was supposed to catch the train from Chicago to Battle Creek on Saturday since he'd been caught drivin' around with his good buddy Capain Morgan and wasn't allowed to drive his truck for a while. Saturday cames, we goes to he train station and no Buffler. As a matter of fact, there was no sign of him or no word from him all weekend so, come tear down time on Monday, ol' Doc divies up his gear amongst his brother's, we all figurin' he's gone under.
