[pct-l] Anyone Seen Censored? - in Lone Pine

[Bob Bankhead]

And yet another hiker attends The School of Hard Knocks.

Fortunately, Kat not only survived relatively unscathed, but also appears to have taken her lessons to heart.

I think it is safe to predict that this young lady will make it all the way to Manning Park and back to her family's arms.

  Here is what she posted

  ===
  I'm sitting all comfortable, warm and clean at a hotel in Lone Pine
  and I just said goodnight to my brother (from Minnesota) and my dad
  (from Phoenix)....they came and found when I made the simple decision
  to hit the 911 button on my SPOT yesterday afternoon when I got caught
  in the Sierras in a Snow Storm. It's a long story that started with
  the decision to leave Kennedy Meadows with only my sandals and ended
  when the Sheriff (with my dad and brother behind him) came up to me on
  the streets of Lone Pine saying, "Are you Katalina? We've been looking
  for you." I can't sleep before I let everybody who helped my family in
  the last 30 hours know how grateful I am to them. I'm an idiot and my
  poor decisions put my family (and the Inyo Sheriff's department)
  through a lot of grief in the last 24 hours. My mom got a real taste
  of all the great trail magic I've experienced. Ironically, your help
  through this situation has made my mom feel more at ease having me on
  the trail and my family is in full support of me continuing the my
  trip to Canada (after I go to the gear store for a tent, water proof
  matches, and shoes). Thank you, for now. I will write more tomorrow
  about what happened over the last couple of days.
