Ride from Iron Horse to the PCT

In the Fall of 2018, a friend of mine (Tracy) and our trusty equine partners (Tanner, Carter and Fatty) along with Trigger my beloved Rhodesian Ridgeback made a 33.1 mile trek from our Iron Horse property at the south end of Mt. Shasta all of the way to the PCT down to where the trail crosses under I-5.  We weren't exactly sure of mileage, my guesstimate was about 35 miles, we carried external batteries to keep the phones charged so that we could log our entire trip, complete with photos and video!  It ended up being 33.1 miles and all through some pretty scenic country.  We were riding through some areas where they had been recently logging so our views were fantastic.  At one point, we could see the Castle Crags, The Eddy mountains, Black Butte and Mt. Shasta all at one time.  We rode about 17.4 miles on day one to make it to our camp spot, which we found on the top of a mountain.  We watered and fed the animals and enjoyed a nice dinner and then hit the rack so we could start again early the next morning.  We made it to the Pacific Crest Trail at the top of Girard Ridge and met a USFS timber crew that was doing some more much needed logging.  After that, we were heading down the PCT all of the way to the Sacramento River at the base of the beautiful and rugged Castle Crags.  This is where we ended our trip.  It was a fabulous adventure and we are already planning another adventure for this fall!  Stay tuned for more....
