Boot camp is going well. Butch has put on wieght and is fit; we're doing average 12-13 miles every morning, and another 2-3 in late afternoon. Practice miles, local rural roads. We rode next to a train twice, and the second time Butch didn't spook until the two engines on the end went clanging by. He no longer shies from huge tanker trucks. Best of all, he stands still for grooming, saddling, and mounting, and for the minimal packs I've had on him so far. Next we do the rides with full packs.
Tomorrow the plan is to go over my entire camping/pack setup, making any adjustments needed. Hope to leave for re-start by the weekend.
