[pct-l] More on Huskies

Hi Fritz, Welcome to _Backcountry!_ (mailto:Backcountry!.fritz7ntd at aol.com) 
from _fritz7ntd at aol.com_ (mailto:fritz7ntd at aol.com) 
 
Like you Fritz, I've taken my dog, a Huskie, on parts of the  PCT through 
the San Bernardino Mountains many times overland on skis and a  couple of 
overnights.
He's been with me on parts of the Sierra.  I can't tell  you how much fun 
that was and how grateful he seemed to be for the  experience.  
 
I basically agree.  In a perfect year, when  everything goes right (I have 
not seen such a year!), including having special  dog shoes for traversing 
the lava fields in Oregon, good luck in getting  through or over the Packwood 
glacier in Washington, fording swift deep creeks in  Washington (one of 
many detours), I suppose it can be done.  But  as you know, people do report 
others doing it. 
 
Again, welcome!
Hal (Green Hornet) Margolis

....But  that said, I would never take my dog out for more than a week.  
And I  would always leave an exit option to make the trip shorter....
