Tonight, November 3rd, Dave's Spot did not come in. I did get a brief chance to talk to him this afternoon. He was tired, but getting closer and closer to Castle Craigs State Park.
Dave told me he would head for PCT mile 1490. He'd then have 15 miles tomorrow to walk to the end of the line. See PCT Half Mile map California Section O page 8.

He will have a climb of about 2000 feet up, and then it's all down hill. Dave will cross under the 5 freeway and then he'll need to make his way to the campground. He wants to go back to the same location I dropped him off. It is really important to him that he hikes every step of this Adventure. He'll then see if he can get a hitch into Dunsmuir, a town about 5.5 miles away. He really doesn't want to walk that. He'll call and let me know if he's at the campground waiting for me in his tent staying warm and cozy, or if he gets a ride into town and is waiting for me in a motel all warm and cozy. Either way, I'll be with him tomorrow night.
There will be no blog update tomorrow night because it will be late when I get in. It may actually be a few days before I have Internet access, so be patient and we'll get you pictures and a will be setting up a welcome home for Dave. Don't forget we are planning a 7 mile hike from Baden Powell to Little Jimmy and then have a get together here at the house. Details next week.
