[pct-l] Good news from Winthrop group

[J Schurr]

10:30 pm EST Friday, Oct 5th (that's 7:30 pm Pacific time)  received a call from my son, Guts.  His was the group in the "turned back from Cutthroat Pass" pictures that took an alternate route up HWY 20 and along the edge of Ross Lake to the border, where they were met by friends (bless you!) who were driving them back up through Canada and around to the US.  Chuckwagon, Blazer, Dalton, Chigger, Hotpocket and Bloodhound were with Guts and were returning to the US and were on their way to Seattle.  Scout and Frodo had other transport back.   Mr. D, Figaro, Lotto, and DiscoDan did not take the alternate route but no one was going to try over the PCT, so I assume they ended their trek.  I know Mr. D hitched to Manning and hiked back down the trail to the border crossing.The group knew that T-Tree, Nafta, Mr. Pink and Miso has made it thru; Mr. Pink and Miso were apparently the last to get thru on the PCT itself.  They knew Cloudspotter and Big Cat and some others were
 contemplating the alternate route, but had not seen them.  All were tired but happy, and glad to hear Nadine and Chris were okay.  Thanks to all who emailed/posted info.  I have enjoyed all the info on this list over the last 5 months, and love reading the trail journals and the pictures.  God Bless and I pray everyone still out gets back safely.
