[pct-l] Out of Contact Hikers on PCT

[The Dosey Family]

Bill,  Thanks for your reply and the answers are
They are headed from South to North  Mex Border to Canada,
The last verified physical contact was in Idyllwild on the 3rd, the last 
spot check in was just outside San Jacinto on the 6th, just south of I-10.
Yes they have a cell, but there has been no response, it goes directly to 
voice mail like it is turned off.
As far as prior contact, they were checking in on a regular 2-3 day 
intervals, unless otherwise noted in out of service or off the grid areas.
As far as Physical availability, I live in Lake Havasu but can and will make 
myself as available as necessary. That is why I am reaching out to the 
hiking community, and I have also been in touch with the San Bernardino and 
Riverside County Sheriff's Offices, and the PCTA, And the Forrest Rangers in 
the area, AND a couple of the Trail Angles, primarily Andrea ( Pct Mom in 
Washington) AND Donna (L-Rod) in Southern California to try and pass the 
word along and get some sort of information on these two.
Any help is certainly welcome and appreciated and Please feel free to e mail 
me at dart at uneedspeed.net or call me at 928-486-0286 at any time.
Thank you for your e mail and your help.
