~ Rastus
Line Camp Adventure
- On the Edge of the Gila Wilderness ~
$300 Per
Person/Per Night and is usually combined with Ranch Riding
Vacation.
Spend one night - or more.
If
solitude is what you're looking for, this is for you!
In the old days, Cowboys used "line camps" or "sign
camps" where they were stationed to "ride line" or "ride
sign," which meant to turn back cattle straying from the home
range, follow the tracks of those which they missed, watch for
rustlers, tail-up cattle during storms and pull them from
bog-holes.
The likes of Ben Lily and Geronimo roamed the
area and this is your chance to experience a horseback riding
adventure! Rastus Cabin, on the very edge of the Gila National
Forest/Gila Wilderness provides an exciting opportunity to
recreate the life of a real cowboy. Nearly 100 years
ago, homesteader Rastus Perry settled on this remote piece of
land tucked against the great Gila Wilderness.. Rastus made his
living turning corn into "shine". Once every month his team
and wagon would haul his home brew into the town of Silver City,
nearly 40 miles away. More recently, ranchers in the area used
Rastus' cabin to work their cows, look for strays and get out of
unexpected weather.
Tighten up yer cinch! This adventure ain't
fer the feint-hearted or weak-kneed. There's no phone or fax...
just you, yer horse, endless vistas and brilliant stars at
night. This country is mind-numbing in it's beauty. Ride out in
the morning with a few supplies and head to the Cabin 10 miles
from Headquarters. We'll come back for you whenever you say.
Once there, you'll prepare yourself camp-style meals to fill yer
belly - just like the cowboys did 100 years ago. Can you handle
the quiet?? You'll get back in touch with nature's healing
powers, guaranteed! Alone with the spirits of the past, this
is the starting point for a journey back in time...a journey
your heart and mind will not soon forget!
Ranch Staff works diligently to ensure your
adventure is comfortable, exciting and safe. Range tents are
provided for added privacy or inclement weather, however
everyone must bring their own personal sleeping bags.
It's recommended this adventure be combined
with a ranch riding vacation. Spend part of your adventure in
the comfort of the ranch Guest Houses and Cabins. Each Guest
is responsible for supplying their own personal sleeping bag,
change of clothes, towel and toilet items. You'll be provided
with a Wrangler Guidr, camp food, water, horse feed, an out
house - after that, yer on yer own...well, we'll also provide
you with a cell phone, just in case!
