Nick and Jesse hiked back to their starting point today, on the Western end of Kintla Lake. It appears that they are waiting, since they continuously press the 'help' button on the SPOT GPS. We've been getting this notice since they were about half way back at 5:46 pm. Jesse's friend is on his way up there to pick them up. He should get there around 11:30 eastern time.....another hour and a half to wait.
Update: Jesse's friend called us at 10:36pm to tell us that he could not make the drive up to Kintla Lake. The visibility with the heavy snow fall only allows him to see 20 feet ahead and he has a 2 wheel drive vehicle. The good news is that there is a ranger working the station nearby Nick and Jesse, as you can see from the map of their location.
They should be fine since they are not pressing the 911 alert button. We are assuming the weather is too severe and they have decided to play it safe. It's going to be a long night.
