Mesquite Trail Ride Notes
Ride Notes
The 2022 ride location has not yet been determined. But as usual many of us will be staying in our personal Living Quarters horse trailers. If you don't have one you may want to contact an RV rental company to reserve yourself a comfortable RV to use for the ride. Dates are as always the last full weekend Thursday - Sunday of September. You are welcome to bring a tent in fact we had a Tepee join us one year. We will have numerous port-a-johns around the camp area. We also suggest you bring plenty of drinking water.
Please bring your own watering buckets. We will be delivering water to campsites once a day. And there will be a few large watering tubs set up around the camp.
We look forward to seeing you all again next year. Till then take care and be safe.
