ITs taking way too long to upload to tiny pic from my phone and then when I try to upload another pic I have to start all over and let all pics on my phone reload..I have over 3K pics on my phone so it takes way too long. If anyone wants to volunteer up an email or a number I'll text or email all the Pine Grove Campground pics to you.

It took 35 minutes for that last photo.

I sent you a PM with my contact info.

Here are some pictures of the area taken by SweetT.
SweetT- you may want to give some details or comments on some of the pics. The landscape is beautiful, and shows how difficult it would be to find someone who was lost or wanted to avoid being found.

Thanks Sutton for posting those pics. I will say that the bottom two on right in your second post are to the right of the campground. So instead of turning left into the campground you would see this terrain on the right ...Which to me is a lot more barren and steep etc. Not a place I would seek refuge or privacy. The first part is also private land but eventually turns into non private but the area still remains quite the same. On the other hand if I turn left into the campground I would find myself surrounded by these beautiful trees that seems to go on forever. If you go a little further to the left, running along side the campground is this creek.. Very easily passable..from there you are into the very beautiful wooded area with mountains , trees, bushes and all that nature has to offer. Way more secluded and miles and miles of noone.
I was kind of surprised that LE went on that Mystic lake trail as the trail head is still several miles down from this campground. And most/a lot of that mystic lake trail is above tree line.. I don't know what exactly is across this little creek but did find a bridge that you could drive a car across but it was not passable with a vehicle cause a tree was down in front of it from high winds...and the fact that the campground was still closed when I was there. I plan on doing some hiking up in this area and go across that bridge etc the next time I am out there. I'm hoping it will be open then and I will take a back pack and bear spray and cross that creek. I honestly do not think I will find anything due to the huge vastness of the area but it will be a place I havent explored anyway so might as well. I do wonder what the weather was on that day and I used to know how to check older weather but cant recall how.
Thats all I have for now if I think of anything else I will type it up.
I do wonder if he ran into a bear or foul weather or what...
