You should try to come to the Barona Tribal Powwow (Lakesdie, CA) on Labor Day Saturday. Our family puts up a canope and we stay all day and night. The grandkids are dancing (again) this year, including Ian and Emma! My mother is a Traditional Lakota Elder and you could do some talking to her and listen to her awesome stories. You and your wife are more than welcome! Good for you doing this muleride. I admire your determination. Love, Diane Hans, didn’t know you were so interested in the Old West.

However, it would have been something that was dried over a fire or maybe on a wood stove. Jerky, parched corn, pre-cooked and dried beans.... Unfortunately this will mean rather monotonous meals! Of course most mountain men subsisted on the land (other than flour, salt and baking powder), and that isn't possible today. Dried food was around in the early 19th century!

We'd have to go fishing for extra food sleep out side in the rain etc... I used to do it every summer up in Canada. Great fun. Reminds me of camp.
