[pct-l] Party of 5 start their hike

["ROBERT E RIESS" <CDRRIESS@prodigy.net>]

Ben Harth, Ezra Freeman, Jonny "Squirrel Fight" Lane, Maria Stavrakas and
Kate Brennan began their journey at 5:45am April 11. They are going to try
to make it to ADZPCTKO, but that is dependant upon making connections with
someone who can provide transportation.  This crew filled my stretched Dodge
minivan, which could maybe accommodate one more if somebody sat with a pack
across their lap.  At 4:15 this morning they were all weighing packs (45 to
48lbs average, including the women).  Not an ice ax among them.

Hike on!!  Bob Riess at the trailhead in San Diego.
