  Ok, so I need your advice. We will be taking our first longish trip - 2 1/2 weeks- next summer with our 2 horses from N. California near Sacramento to above Portland, Oregon, and then to mid Oregon and then back down thru N. California. We intend to break the trip up driving, and drive maybe 200 miles a day until we reach our Oregon destinations at LLStubbs Park and then some parks in central and eastern Oregon. We will be going up the I-5 interstate. Does anyone have any recommendations of places to stay? We will be in a 3-horse LQ trailer, but would like to find places along the way we can have a stall or corral for each horse. If there are trails nearby, that would be a bonus, and might allow us to stay 2 nights to have a day of rest... Also, how do we plan for the horse's food? We will have them on a pelleted complete feed (my horse is going to miss his hay!), but do you find feed stores along the way or try to lug the full mount we will need... Any advice is appreciated, as this is new to us... But, we are excited!

  You should pick up Kim McCarrel's trail riding books - they're great. She's covered lots of Oregon trails and horse camps. http://www.oregonhorsetrails.com/about.htm If you are coming through Central Oregon (Bend, Cascade Lakes, Sisters, Hwy 97) drop me a note for resources. We're on the dry side of the mountains and have lots of great riding and horsecamps.
