While riding out we met a trail bike with a chain saw mounted on it’s front wheel<\/a>. We stopped and talked to the rider. He mentioned that his wife was coming up the trail behind him with their pack string of six mules. He said they were going to be setting up a camp near one of the lakes in the area. While he didn’t say, but we think they were a local outfitter setting up a hunting camp after looking at the loads which contained a number of tents and chairs.\u00a0 What a great idea having someone clear the trail in front of your pack string! \u00a0 Video<\/a>
