[pct-l] Inland, Not Coast Route?

[Garret Christensen]

Wildheart mentioned the existence of multiple routes.  The link (http://www.pcrexp.com/route-map/) describes some folks that are hiking the PCT, but extended up all the way to Alaska.  I've hiked the Coast from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Oregon Border, and personally I didn't think it was all that great, because at least in that stretch, there's a bunch of private property, and walking around it on long stretches of shoulder-less Highways 1 & 101 with 18-wheelers bearing down on you isn't that fun.  

Anyway, I'm curious if anyone has investigated the possibility of an inland range hike in Northern California.  Just looking at a road-map, it seems there's enough contiguous National Forest land so that you could get from near Clearlake  (~100 from SF) all the way to the Oregon border through Mendocino, Shasa-Trinity, Klamath, and Rogue River National Forests.  

Anybody ever done anything like that?

There are at least two different "trails," one ocean-based and the other in the mountains:
