From Jan:
"I just got off the phone with Kris. He is in Gorham, NH. Yetti's girlfriend picked them up off the trail and they are hanging there for tonight and possibly tomorrow night as well. They will actually have to go back to the trail in Maine and hike there once they decide to start again, but this was the closest bigger town. They are hoping to get to an outfitter and get some warmer gear and get the problem with water purifyer fixed. Kris was excited because they saw a bull moose. He said it was by far the biggest creature he has ever seen! Once they get back on the trail, they will begin up Mt. Washington. This has the potential to be the most treacherous part of the journey. It boasts the worst weather, and some through hikers have reported hurricane conditions. He asked us to be praying for their safety which I assured him we all would! He will call agan in about a week hopefully when they have come through this section."
