Food and Water - We’ll group people up and assign them a meal to cook at the hut. Each group will give Two Dog Travel a list of ingredients to purchase ahead of time. While at the hut, you will be in charge of cooking a meal, be it breakfast or dinner. Lunch will be sandwich wraps, etc. All meals at the hut are included in the price. Any snacks, etc. you’d like to have for the hikes are each person’s responsibility.  Someone will drive a Jeep on the 4wd road to the hut carrying the drinking water for the group, however, all the food for meals we will carry in our packs. If someone feels they can’t make it to the hut, there is a possibility of riding in the jeep. Everyone will be responsible for purchasing any alcohol they’d like to have at the hut and should have it purchased the evening of Friday, August 21. (There are two liquor stores in town.)  The alcohol will be put in the jeep and brought to the hut along with the water.
