A Southern United States pack really sounds like a lot of fun, with great food and horses too, but I have to ask... why are the South Eastern States known as the South, when the South Western States are known as the South West and aren't there Cow/ranching...folk in some of the northern states, like Wyoming and Montana? :*
I'm guessing it's because of the way the US developed historically. The southwestern states were settled later, so the whole idea of the West is iconic for us. And, yes, ranching is possible in many western states.
