[pct-l] Where are they now?



Hi another couple from Ft.Collins Co. started their thru hike on the 18th of
May because of college grad. We met them last weekend just a little up from
scissors crossing as we, Mike Saenz, my grandson and I "Ground Pounder" were
doing our section hike from Scissors to Barrel Spring. We hiked with them
most of the day. We stopped for the night at 3rd gate, they went on to
Warner Springs. We saw them at the gas station on Sunday when we finished.
This weekend my grandson and I went from Warner Springs to Hwy 74, finished
at 1300hrs.or 1pm today the 30th we saw where the couple from Co. had signed
in at hikers oasis on the 25th their names were Miah and Sarah. By the way
Fri. was hot hot in the low 80s, Sat. was fog, wet, cold, we were soaked
until noon then it was hot hot all over again Sun again in the low 90s hot
hot thanks so much for the water caches we also used lost spring and tule
spring. We would have been in big trouble if it were not for hikers oasis.
Still had a great time  Ground Pounder PS I named myself because of the
"Corps" and because I pick them up and put them down a lot more than most
going up hill, very slow!!!----- Original Message -----
