The Tandem Pack



A team of two horses…harnessed one behind the other…carrying a load between them is called… “The Tandem Pack”…

Ron Hilkey of Adams Lodge in Meeker, Colorado…is packing in tandem…in the Flat Tops Wilderness of Colorado… he is 72 years old in this photo…and…the back horse…in tandem…is 21 years old…

Ron and his horses packed the two canoes…full of supplies…over 7 miles of rough mountain wilderness trail…climbing mountains and crossing running rivers…The Tandem Pack is a dying art…
