[pct-l] Thru-riding, north to south

[Dorian]

Hello everybody, I'm new there, I just subscribed today.

My name is Dorian, and I will be coming in USA in one month to try to
thru-ride from north to south. I'm a very experienced rider, and I decided
some times ago to have a 6 months break to do such a trip. To be honest, I
did not know about the PCT before yesterday, but it seems to fit perfectly
well what I want to do. Of course, if some parts appear to me to difficult
for the horses or for me, I'll just find an other way around these parts.

I don't want to bother you, but I would like to ask few questions :

- Firstly, I will need to buy the two horses I will need to do this trip. If
any of you know a good ranch or farm near the north of the trail that would
allow me to gather these two horses and take a week or two to train them a
bit and get to know them, that would be wonderful.
- It's a bit the same problem : is it easy to access the beginning of the
PCT without following a big road for hours? I would prefer to access it
directly riding rather than having to pay for the transportation of the two
horses.
- I read that there are few feed stores near the trails. Is it still
possible to make the whole trip (or most of it, like I said, I'm willing to
ditch from the trail for some parts if needed) without a supply angel?

Thank you all.

Dorian
