Hello,
I've owned goats for a while but just started looking into packing. Max has already been camping with us while he was on a bottle, before Ruby was weaned. I'm a casual camper/hiker so my little Nigerian Dwarves will do just fine.
I'm located in Washington state, 30 minutes North of Seattle, and I'm always on the lookout for goat friendly trails and campgrounds. I'm also curious if there are any packstock-specific rules anyone has run into, aside from goats not being allowed in national parks. Any goat leash laws? They do really well off-lead (Ruby does WAY better off than on because she wants to stop and eat then catch up later) but I'm nervous that, because they're the size of cocker spaniels, people won't like It? I don't know, I live in fear of authority.
Tips and trail/campground suggestions are appreciated aaaaaand here's Max on the camping trip.
