Lost Horses in the Gila 8-8-19 update: OK, we''ve organized the next step in the hunt for our roaming rascals, and we''re going in with horses! This Saturday we''re heading back in to camp in the area where we have strong evidence they are (Clear Creek camp at the Trotter trail, starting from the Aeroplane Mesa trailhead). Jim Mater of U-Trail, our first outfitter, is going to pack us in with horses and mules, and help us search. Hopefully the pack string will act as "herd bait" for our guys and lure them in. Photo is of Jim''s pack string during our original trip a month ago, when the adventure started.
