She passed the Sid Davis cutoff quite a while ago. Looks like she's about to Wellman.

She called me a little after 5:00 this morning. She didn't know the PCT followed the road, so she had tried to go up, probably on the old route. She ended up backtracking and finding the correct route, but only after some lost time and extra distance.

She'll be at 33+ miles at the tram.

If her progress slows, I can be at the tram in about 30 minutes. If she looks like she's going to miss the tram, I'll pop out there with some sleeping bags, hand warmers and some mixture containing alcohol. She won't be out there alone.

Incidentally, 41 looks like she's sticking to the trail.

She probably went up the trail to the Indian shelter. Then it looks like she went up the hill a bit and missed actually hitting the trail by a couple hundred feet.

Always an adventure with this girl.

Just a couple miles, then time to enjoy the memory. Long day! I'm looking forward to the next update.

Anyone aware of who might be giving her a ride back to the car at Snow Creek?

Plot 44 puts her pretty close to the water spigot in case there was a need for flavored water.
