HOLD IT! HOLD IT !HOLD IT!

Lets start over here, cause we can not take the last 5 things.!
jeepers... 

We can only pack a few personal things.
Soap, Toothbrush, paste, deodorant, hairbrush, 1 towel, 1 washcloth, bug spray, aspirin, first aid kit. ammo.
I will take an extra pair of clothes ( t-shirt, long sleeve shirt, jacket, pr of jeans, socks, underware)
I will have to wash my unmentionables every evening, cause I am just kinda weird about that part).

Since I will be on my horse I will wear my chaps, spurs, and gun belt, so won't have to pack those.

I will pack the cooks ( that'd be me) chow wagon.
Who is good at handling a team of horses for this wagon?
Mama? I know you can drive a team of horses..so you want that job?
These are special horses, cause they are carrying all our food and water... so you need to be extra careful .

We are going to need a couple traveling wagons also, so who will be responsible for driving the other 2 , 4 horse teams?

Planning is in the making... who else is doing and taking what?

[Jo McDonald]

I accept the position of "driver of the team" !!! 

[Teresa]

Great! 
We are going to need 2 more drivers and helpers... and mama will need a side kick to set up front with her.
We have to have someone in charge of the  horse's items.. Horse shoeing supplies, food etc..
Who can do that?

Plus I will need a helper in cooking.
Sister? I would like you to be with me in that area..

We will need a handy man/woman to be able to "mechanic."  Flo? You will have to talk Marvin in going with us. he is one of the best mechanics I know with tractors and farm equipment.. So I know that wagons and hitches/axles  etc will be no problem for him....

Now lets see.. what else...

[kdfrawg]

Really? No blender or microwave?

Sheesh.
