 From the picture on the map, it looks like they made it down to the  
drinking fountain at Snow Creek. They aren't lost on Fuller Ridge or  
anything like that. So their next step would have been the long hot  
cross of the desert divide and the long slog up to Big Bear. That  
ought to take only 3 or 4 days or so.

Were they using trail journals or postholer or some other blogging  
tool to keep an online journal?
