Thanks everyone for the well wishes and I will pass them on to Robert tonight! He is all stitched up and happy to be out of the emergency room and resting in a motel in Salida.

It looks like Jason Shelman might be off the trail. Looks like he has been frustrated javascript:void(0); either looking for the trail or looking for an escape route. I hope he is OK.

Ouch! Like everyone else, I hope Jason is ok. I believe he knows the course pretty well. Strange that he'd stray from it...?
Best healing vibes to the folks that bailed because they got hurt or are recovering from the effort.
Owen is a rocket!

Definitely hope he finds his way back. Don't know him, but he's really off, and I suspect trying to figure out where things are.
Owen might finish before 6 a.m. Thursday.

Looks like he was on the right course taking the new route towards Cataract Ridge. I have a feeling Jason got confused because the new route doesn't have any CT signs, only marked by cairns. He probably thought he was on the wrong trail, turned around and took the old route which still has the CT signs. Hope that's all it is and he's OK.

I looks like you might be right, what with all of his back and forth. |

It appears Shelman is on 520, heading southish but it also appears the road ends. I am just looking at trackleaders, not real maps. Looks like he was moving at a good speed on the drop off trail, thats a good sign. I am pulling for Shelman too, how could you not!?!

jason's backtracking certainly makes him appear lost but i'm not sure why he would drop 2k+ of elevation (due south) when the new section is described as remaining high (and due west). he also dropped off well shy of cataract lake where the new section is clearly described as diverging from the old CT (pole creek). The trail he dropped is defined and visible on the sat imagery but it's not the old CT. hmmm. Looks like Doug will be up on that same section soon. we'll see if he can nav. it in the dark. |

How long do those guys go tonight? Push into Silverton? Can they get there or with all of this climbing will they need a much-needed rest?

Be hard to see cairns point to point (or ridge to ridge) at night - so doubt they push too far.

looks like Jason might be on some sort of jeep road on google earth and should reconnect but will have missed a good portion and taken a long detour yet another * by his name?
