[pnpgm] Fwd: Fwd: horses and gear

[David Sanders]

Here in Oregon we have a mountain that sees snow at the 4-5000 foot range only in the dead of winter...2-4000 foot will get it only occasionally.  Only above the 6k foot level does it really, really snow (at higher elevations they have snow year 'round).  So, in my experience, there would likely be but little hinderance from that kind of weather.

> OOC: Hill terrain as listed on PnP maps are considered mountains by most modern sources, the Map Book listing Hill terrain as being between 2,000 to 6,000 feet in elevation. The length of the Appalachian Trail would be considered Hills in PnP as well as parts of the Sierra Nevada range, for example. Trying to cross some of these ranges in winter would be difficult, even with a proper trail.

Sure, we might find areas where we need to walk and lead the horses, but even in the winter it won't be difficult for the horses.  It's not mountains!  Those I wouldn't even consider doing in the winter, especially with a horse."

>> In response Z'leyra says "How much gear are you talking about? Can it be fit inside one of the magic bags I will make? The problem with bringing more horses is keeping them fed and watered. Indeed, I am tempted to have us board our horses at a stable, likely Ben'Dar's, and go on foot from Cedric's camp where we can be teleported to. The Kameran is certainly not a place I would take a wagon in winter, bad enough taking horses."
