[pct-l] Out of Contact Hikers on PCT

[The Dosey Family]

Thank you I will call this morning, ALSO, I was wondering if it would be 
possible that they would have gone into Cabazon or if there is some sort of 
a check point or registry there to check in on, OR if there is some sort of 
regular campground with showers they might have headed towards that I could 
check with as well?
Thanks again
Wes
