Happy 4th of July from Whidbey Island, Washington! Talked to Brett tonight. Sounds like they are having a rough go at it with the snow and other similar issues (streams/rivers ect). They are waiting on more information on the conditions of the trail up to Skykomish and Steven's Pass. Waiting to hear from him in the morning regarding whether to pick him up so he can come to our place and hang out for a few days until he can figure out more information on the trail. Sounds like the group may be splitting up at this point... possibly dropping the others off at a bus stop so they can travel further South to Oregon and continue the trail from there. My view on this is that Brett doesn't want to skip any portion of the trail so he is going to ride it out in hopes that conditions will improve!
