I really have no idea how, or why, anyone would <em>want<\/em> to stuff an elephant into a Safeway bag. I\u0092ve learned a lot since joining the Squaw Butte Back Country Horseman \u0096 I\u0092ve learned how to freeze-dry just about anything, how to be a better steward of our natural resources and the benefits of low impact camping. I\u0092ve learned wilderness first aid for both human and horse and how to more safely handle a chainsaw. I have learned proper weight distribution is essential when packing stock and the value of mastering the diamond hitch. Most importantly, I\u0092ve learned that all of this, and more, is an ongoing and ever-changing process. I have not, however, learned how to stuff an elephant into a bag of any kind. <\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\" class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><v o:spid=\"_x0000_s1026\" type=\"#_x0000_t75\" wrapcoords=\"-140 0 -140 21410 21572 21410 21572 0 -140 0\" style=\"width: 231.3pt; height: 164.95pt; margin-top: 13.5pt; margin-left: 1.5pt; visibility: visible; position: absolute; z-index: -1\" id=\"Picture_x0020_1\"><font face=\"Calibri\">  <v src=\"file:\/\/\/C:\\Users\\Wanderer\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\msohtmlclip1\\01\\clip_image001.jpg\" o:title=\"DSCN8459\">  <w type=\"tight\"> <\/w><\/v><\/font><\/v><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" hspace=\"2\" vspace=\"2\" src=\"http:\/\/sbbchidaho.org\/photo\/SCRiders.jpg\" style=\"width: 200px; height: 300px\" align=\"left\" height=\"300\" width=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Times New Roman\">  <\/font><span style=\"line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt\">October 7<sup>th<\/sup> was on the schedule as a fun ride with an undetermined destination.
