[pct-l] Guided trips

[wandering_bob at comcast.net (Bob Bankhead)]

All of Oregon and the lower half of Washington can easily be cut up into 50 
mile (5 day) sections between resorts and other major easy access spots. 
When you talk 20 days 200 miles, you could do any place your clients want to 
do.

There are a few horse or llama packtrain operators, mostly in the Sierras, 
that offered guided trips, but I've not heard of anything like what you 
propose. Check out http://www.redsmeadow.com  and 
http://www.llamaweb.com/services/trekking.html  There is another llama 
service on the east side of the Sieeras that services the PCT, but I can't 
recall the name and website.
