[pct-l] Horse thru ride

Mendorider
Not much could dissuade me from doing the PCT thru-ride. This trail has
pulled me for several years and most of what I have done has directly or
indirectly pointed me to it. It is a true obsession, taking all the time I
have/can allow for planning/dreaming. I'm going, with my horse and a pack
horse, maybe alone, but I am going. I just can't shake the draw. My husband
thought it would just blow over and something else would pull my attention
away, (sorry, sweetie) it has only gotten worse (or better, depending on
which side of the fence you are on. Even this email makes me want to pack up
and head out!
My biggest concern immediately is that the PCT trail maps are great but not
complete, leaving me to purchase something for N. Calif, Southern Ore and
unless someone has any suggestions, it is going to cost plenty to obtain the
maps. I have solid plans to Tuolumne Meadows but am having difficulty
getting the same information as is so readily available for everything
south. Anybody have suggestions? Mendorider, did you ride the John Muir
Trail, Fuller Ridge, Crater Lake? Also, how old is Primo, how many years
experience has he had? I have a much loved partner I want to use but he will
only be 5 in the spring. My second choice is a great trouper with lots of
experience and 9 years old but just not that same connection. What was the
longest time without water? What foot wear did Primo have? What kind of pest
protection?

My name is Ed Anderson --- trail name "mendorider" I recently compleated my
thru-ride on the PCT on my arabian endurance horse Primo. TO SUSAN: i am
sure that you might be discouraged by what the lady from Santa Barbara
wrote. My experience was positive. I had a great time and Primo did to. We
journeyed from the Mexican border to Sisters, Oregon.We trailered around the
deep snows and the fires. Several sections of trail were closed because of
the fires. Primo held on to his normal weight better than I did. He did lose
about 25 pounds during the last week in the Sisters Wilderness because I had
a promised deadline to return home for family events and to be at Mckinsie
Pass to meet an angel who would pick us up and trailer us to Sisters. Primo
was back to his normal weight is less than a week.We went "solo".I have had
lots of backpacking and saddlebaging experience and went light, bringing?
what most backpackers would plus the horse needs.
I brought 6 pounds of horse feed per day. This was in 3-pound odor-proof
freezer bags.I let him graze a lot along the trail and in camp, two to four
hours after arriving ?at a camp and usually about an hour and one half in
the morning while I broke camp. He was always hobbled and belled?while in
camp and was highlined at night.Be sure that the horse that you ride on the
PCT is sure-footed and agile and not too ?heavy.Many parts of the trail are
challenging. You and your horse should have trail and camping experience
together. Takea few two to four day trips together--- you will learn a lot.

I'm curious about what you all think is the best time for me to start my
thru this next spring considering my resupply strategy...
I plan to keep maildrops to an absolute minimum... as in none if possible.
Instead, I'll be going the resupply-as-I-go route along with a bounce box
for more difficult resupplies. I am not really concerned about doing it this
way as I'm not picky at all when it comes to food... gas-station-esque junk
food is all I seem to crave when I'm hiking anyway. However, I am a
vegetarian which may complicate things a bit. I'd really love to go to the
kickoff because it sounds amazing, but I'm concerned that if I start with
the crowd, I'll have problems finding enough food in the smallest of towns
during the first month or so. I've been thinking of doing what some do and
start a week early and hitch back for the kickoff, but if I could avoid
doing that it would be really great. Also, I'm a pretty quick hiker, so I
don't want to risk hitting the Sierra too early if I start before the
kickoff.
Anyone care to weigh in and help me make up my mind?
I hope you're all enjoying the summer,
Julian

I met a man at the Heitman's house who had ridden his horses (he rode
one and used another as a pack horse) from Kentucky or Tennessee
across the Southern US and up the PCT and was planning to ride back
along the Lewis and Clark trail. He lost one of his horses, the one
he loved the most, on the Hat Creek Rim. It had become spooked by
something and ran away. He searched for a long time before someone
saw the dead horse below the Rim. He was really ruined by the loss. I
never saw such a sad man.
He had to skip a lot of the PCT because of snow and maybe other
reasons I didn't catch, and find alternate routes all along his
route. He told stories of following fences in Texas and coming to an
impass and having to backtrack up to 50 or 100 miles to find another
way. It sounds really difficult to travel by horse! I certainly
couldn't imagine riding a horse over something like Forester Pass all
half-way covered in snow.
One thing he did not do was travel with light gear. He kept trying to
give away heavy coats and things no lightweight hiker would ever use.
He had used his second horse to carry so many heavy things. Maybe
with ultralight equipment he could have done it with only one horse.
But I don't know what is required when you travel by horse. Maybe
living like an old-fashioned cowboy is part of the deal.
His remaining horse, the pack horse, looked healthy enough. But he
did not seem happy and said he was not having any fun. He kind of
looked like nothing would be fun for him though, so your mileage may
vary. You would have an interesting story to tell at the end, that's
for sure.

My experience has been that single-wall tents (like "The One" or my
current fav "Nemo GoGo Bivy") work better in dry (and maybe warmer)
climates like CA and southern Oregon. In wet climates like Northern OR
and WA you get rained on at night: no joke! I was just on Mt. Hood last
weekend and my tent was raining on me all night. The humid air and the
single wall tent and the cold air are a bad combo. I'll be using my
Nemo in CA and southern OR (it worked fine at Crater Lake!) and using a
dual-wall setup in north OR or WA rain and cold.
Crawling into my flame-proof bivy,

Hi Susan -
There was a fellow this year who went by the trail name of
"Mendorider". He rode thru California (NoBo). We played trail tag
for a few days in the desert/Big Bear area. He was doing about 18 miles a
day,
and had his wife providing some support and other riders occasionally
helping,
as well. He was originally from Mendocino, and was active in the
long-distance
trail riding community.
I don't know his name, but might be able to dig it up if it is important.
You can contact me off-list if you want me to keep digging. I don't know
what his plans were for the snow areas, but believe that horses sometimes
follow
lower altitude trails at times. That is certainly true around Crater Lake.
Peace, Kent

A lot of what's in my book, and on my site is geared towards being able to
go into a grocery store and put meals together - no dehydrator, no internet
shopping (more the book than the website).
I would imagine the Bay Area would have a pretty good selection of
groceries.

I'm planning on getting food as I go. Just trying to figure out if I'll
be able to get enough food in tiny towns with only convenience stores if I
start
with the pack and end up in town with many other hikers.
I'm in the bay area in California, but lived in Seattle two years ago.
Still miss living there.

Hello guys,
I am planning to hike in '09 and I would like to post my journal on

device. Is this "the best" device? I think that the device can be
purchased on line but it would seem that there would be people that
do not need the device anymore and would like to sell the one they
have or would it be better to buy a new or different device?
Thanks,

I think that the Pocket Mail has now been overrun by cellphones/PDAs
that have email capability. You can get signal in most towns and even
in some places on the trail. You'll need some type of data plan for
your cellphone, but it's probably less than the Pocket Mail monthly
charges.
Please recycle your Pocket Mail responsibly.

Hi! I am new to backpacking and my trailname is MugShot. I heard there are
a lot of nice people on this List, who might be able to help me.
I was wondering if anyone could give me advice about going cookless and
meatless on the trail. I was thinking about the Vegan style on the trail
too. I wonder how that would work?

Paul M. writes about the difficulties of post-trail adjustment, and although
I am a section hiker rather than a thru-hiker, I can definitely relate to
what he says about the problems of re-entry. I always find it difficult to
reenter and that's in spite of the fact that I love my home, friends and
family, and "normal" activities (not that he doesn't). Even though being on
the trail takes adjusting to, it is a simpler life in many ways; the
decisions are about survival (where to eat, set up camp, how many miles,
etc.). At home, we are expected to be "responsible" adults and play various
roles; we work and play with others in myriad ways much of the time. Our
decisions and interactions with others are much more complicated.
Paul wonders if the answers to some of his questions will become clearer
over time. Perhaps they will, but since I didn't start long-distance hiking
on the PCT and the Camino trails of Europe until I was in my fifties and
sixties, I'm not sure how much age has to do with it. One thing I have
gotten better at over time is expecting some degree of difficulty with the
transitions and not to beat myself over the head about it.
It's one of life's realities that making a choice often means giving
something else up. I am fortunate in that I can look back from where I am
(67) and see that my life has been a series of chapters. Obviously each new
chapter builds on the earlier ones, but within most people's lifetimes there
is time for many adventures and re-creations.
Thanks for giving us food for thought, Paul. Socrates said, "The unexamined
life is not worth living."
Happy trails,
Susan Alcorn

What type of cooking are you doing on the trail? Freezer bag cooking or no?
What kinds of things do you like to eat at home normally? I have a whole
vegetarian section on my site (sig line) - not too vegan though.
Give me more info and I'll send some ideas your way. :)

I was wondering if anyone could give me advice about going cookless and
meatless on the trail. I was thinking about the Vegan style on the trail
too.
I wonder how that would work?
Your new friend and buddy, MugShot

There are many current thru hikers that are going veggie. I will ask them
when I see then in various WA locations. But my friend S.O.L. is currently
doing all veggie but is cooking and has had no problems resupplying. She is
however relying heavily on boxes that I've been sending out.
www.onepancooking.com has some good dishes but just take out the meat. I
have a problem not looking down in the ingrediance list because there is a
lot of chicken broth or meat byproducts. Yuck!! Best of luck.
Dusty
