[pct-l] trail note: PCT @ Hwy 3, Scott Mountain Summit

[Tortoise]

Did a long drive Tuesday and Wednesday. I camped Tuesday night, 07/27/10, 
at the camp at Scott Mountain Summit on Hwy 3. The PCT runs along the north 
side of the camping area.  There were a trio of PCT sections hikers camped 
there for the evening.  We talked a bit and took each others' pictures. 
They were reluctant for me to post their pictures to the web so I am also 
withholding their identities.   Two had sore blistered feet. I gave them 
what duct tape I had.

Wednesday morning, I talked with them again. One had decided that his 
blisters were too bad  for him to continue and asked for help to get off 
the trail. Another was going to hike for about 30 minutes and determine how 
her feet were doing. If they hurt too much she would come back and I would 
also give her a ride. We reviewed my road map and talked and then agreed I 
would take the one hiker to Amtrack in Redding. We'd wait for an hour in 
case the woman decided to bail. We actually waited for a little longer then 
left. I dropped the one hiker at Amtrak in Redding and continued my trip.

Happy
