She had a satellite device I think she said. But yes, it's very possible that things didn't go according to plan in that regard.

No, we don't walk away. But when we're holding on to something precious, we run.

Yeah, tech and wilderness does not always work hand in hand!

Hi Guys;
I'm back!
I walked out Sunday, two days earlier than scheduled. I skipped a rest day and pushed hard one day to do 15 miles the day I did Forrester Pass (13,000'+).
Don't know what happened with the Delorme device. I did email moon/Laura along with a group of other interested people but only my husband and one girlfriend seemed to get the messages.
It was an extraordinary experience. We live in a beautiful country and I feel fortunate to have been healthy enough to explore this section of it.
We're at the cabin now refinishing the decks (yeah property management/maintenance never ends!). Once I get home next week I'll start downloading and editing pix. I'll post a link when I'm done.
Thanks to all of you for your encouragement!

Glad to hear that it was a successful hike, and that it was just technical difficulties vs something bad happening to you. I hope you took pictures!

Nothing really to worry about. There were a lot of people on the trail including a lot of women. I was probably the oldest single solo female hiker that I saw. I think I camped solo (as in no one in shouting distance) only 2 or 3 times. It was a wilderness experience but with a lot of company!

Happy to see you have checked in. Was a tad concerned about you.
