Saved my bacon on a recent ill fated JMT thru hike attempt. My IT bands went out on me and I didn't have time to recover on the trail, so knowing that a full on 911 would have been ridiculous I was able to arrange a pack ride out. Pine Creek Pack Station absolutely came through in record time, and pack leader Tim (or is it pack master?) Was an absolute pleasure to spend the day with. Knowledgable and informative about the area and local flora and fauna, he kept my mind off off my aching knees and on the beautiful scenery around me for the duration of the ride. Tim turned what could have been seven painful hours, into a fun and thrilling afternoon I would have enjoyed to do anyway (ever try going SoBo down Glen Pass on a mule? It'll sear your steak baby...)
Anyway, I didn't get to properly thank Tim or the company for helping this lady out of a tight spot, due to rushed circumstances at the trailhead, so I want this review to shout far and wide, Pine Creek Pack Station is the best, and when I come back next summer, I hope to take a more local ride in one of your organized pack trains. I hope Calvin is available, he's the best mule that ever stepped foot on the dirt.
Top shelf thanks!!!!! See you soon!! read more
