I know he is a big boy and can take care of himself. I guess for myself that I would feel a certain helplessness feeling of not being able to know exactly what is going on and being out of communication so often.As I read this thread I kept thinking about how little or missed opportunities there were for Brett to let everyone know what is happening.Good thing he is young.I love his nick name and map reading skills using an altimeter. That impressed the hell out of me. Did you teach him that skill Steve? Made me think about "what if" I had attempted the PCT when I was young and healthy.Ah all the "what ifs" of our lifes.
Good luck to Brett and his adventure.
