I am hoping that some generous thru or trail angel near
Idyllwild can help me out -- hopefully I can return the
favor sometime. Here is my dilemma. I was in the group
that had to exit quickly from the PCT when the Apache Peak
fire started. In my haste I left my pack on the ridge --
in hindsight I would make a different decision but at the
time I just wanted to get out fast. It luckily survived
the fire and the forest service brought it down to the
Idyllwild Ranger Station. They won't mail it to me, so I
need some help to get it back to Seattle, where I live. If
someone is in Idlyllwild with time you could pack it up and
send it USPS from there, and I could pay you back.
Unfortunately they won't bill me or do COD. The other
possibility is if someone has a car they could take it to
the UPS or FedEx store in Hemet and the mail store people
could package it up and send it. In that case I can pay
the mail store directly for the mailing.
If someone would do this for me I would be eternally
grateful, and you are hiking in Washington later this
summer, I will be your personal trail angel. Rides into
town, a steak dinner delivered to the trailhead of your
choice, whatever would be helpful I'd be happy to do it.
Thanks,
Philippa
