Anybody run into these folks before?What an entourage this is. 5 horses (yes 5) , 3 dogs, 3 people in this Beverly Hillbillies' trailer pulled by an aging pickup. They brought their own horse corral and set it up right in the campsite. I felt sorry for the horses.. no shade, and when travelling crammed into that tight space in back. I'm really not sure why management would let this in in the first place. Perhaps they lied. 5 horses can make a real mess of a campsite. I'm not sure I'd want to be the next occupants.A couple Rangers came around the next day, talked to them for quite a while, and this morning they packed up and left.

I would agree that is pretty cramped quarters for 5 horses, 3 dogs, and 3 humans. The picture below id DD's 4 horse slant with small living quarters in the front, just enough room for a wet bath, 2 burner cook top, small sink, small refer, and a place to sleep.Looking at that rig, can't see where 5 horses fit.

The high country trail head parking lots off the north cascade highway are totally full of horse trailers this time of year.Surprising -- horses don't care if their trailers are pretty. ..... :) and they will tolerate heat better than people. Farmers work their horses pretty hard in hot Summer days.They were probable told where there were better facilities, If they were doing anything against the rules they would have been told to move right away.

I'm surprised to see them that close to a paved road.

I get the feeling from your post, you look down on poor folks doing it their way.
