<div>Erin,</div>

<div>For your historical edification, Stephen Pern, a British journalist, thru-hiked the (pre-existent) CDT in the 1980's and described his impressions in a book. I think the title was The Great Divide. As I recall, he met two sisters who were thru-riding the trail on horseback. You might look it up next fall when you are coming down off your thru-ride.
