As a matter of fact, I did get a text message from him mentioning that their stated backpacking plans when they entered Canada were questioned, but they got in anyway.

I don't like the looks of the info in that article. It sounds like the Border Patrol is setting up to go after PCT hikers in the future. And yes, technically, the hikers were illegal.

Brett and Dan did discuss the option of hiking north to the border, and then turning around and hiking back south.
