Dave's Spot did not come in tonight, Sunday October 31st. He was able to to call me around noon today. It was raining on and off, mostly off, but Dave was walking towards dark clouds. According to the weather report, he was only suppose to have am showers. He should have had a dry afternoon and evening.
His plan today was to only hike about 13 miles. Yes, the pack on his back was extra heavy with food. He's been slack packing the past couple of days and was already not used to the weight. These would all be good reasons to only hike the 13 miles, but Dave had another reason. There are water issues in this area, or should I say lack of water. Dave will be camping close to the water sources, even if it means a short day of hiking. He'd rather be safe than sorry.
You can see where Dave planned on camping tonight on PCT Half Mile map California Section O page 2, at PCT mile 1439.
