I just stumbled onto your web site looking for info about riding the PCT on horseback. I have Ben Yost's diary of his ride, "The PCT by two in 92". I'm always interested in info about the ride. I am planning to begin my ride north beginning at the Mexico border April 18-20, 2010. Have been trying to get someone to ride it with me but so far have been unsuccessful. I would like to make a trail log of my daily trek but am electronically challenged and 69 years old so may not be able to keep a diary online. I have been riding and packing for 42 years which should help a little. If anyone reading this has any advice i'm all ears. Regarding 'trouble in Washington', I live in Washington and that is where I've done most of my riding and packing. Someone stole the bells and hobbles from my son's horses one time and it took him two days to find them about 12 miles from where he was camped Today’s date is November 28, 2009.

There are several tight sections of trail where you'll be glad that you're leading your mule as opposed to riding (Notably the "Kendall Catwalk" just north of I-90) Also there are a couple fairly steep spots in the Norse Peak wilderness area. I personally have never had any hassle from hikers at all. they have all been tremendous, nor have I heard of such encounters from other riders. The Back Country Horsemen of Washington just put in a new 1/4 mile section of PCT trail just after Government Meadows and before Pyramid Peak ( no more walking along the road!) it's very well marked. Huckleberries are getting ripe now and should be in full swing when you get up this way. Here's a link to the new area http://www.trailmeister.com/Washington/GovMeadows/GovMeadows.htm Best wishes on your journey!

The day you were heading to get some care for Boots in Mt Shasta. My children were inspired by your journey and kindness. Thanks for letting them see your gear and pet the mule. Best of luck and I hope you have a safe and rewarding experience. We met you today at Deadfall Lake. The day you were heading to get some care for Boots in Mt Shasta.

It is always a lot of work preparing and packing, but well worth it. I hope you have a great and positive experience Looking forward to seeing your photos and videos.
