If I repeat some, forgive me - there is always more than I can keep track of.

This one is a little strange, but begs a new question - should search and rescue charge the folks they look for? (especially is a case such as this one?)

You just can't make up a better story than the truth.

The following link provides accurate details about the same SAR mission from Gwenda Yates (RMRU searcher) who was on the scene - not some blogger who wasn't there and can't get his facts straight.

Re: All Hikers are vulnerable
Thanks, Tradclimber - I appreciate you posting the facts. (this story is still a case of an experienced hiker getting lost).
Here is a story that is NOT a blog, and, unfortunately - true.

Assailant :" Hands up mister!"
Jim: "Son, is that a 22?" (slow smile)

I usually carry a Ruger .44 Magnum, Guz
But it really doesn't matter. The Assailant probably wouldn't have had time to notice the difference!

Re: All Hikers are vulnerable
Just saw this today in the NPS Morning Report-not looking good.
Joshua Tree National Park (CA)
Major Search Underway For Missing Hiker
Search and rescue personnel from several agencies are searching the park for missing hiker William Ewasko, 65, of Marietta, Georgia. Ewasko was reported missing to park personnel on Friday evening. Initial information concerning Ewasko’s possible whereabouts led searchers to focus on the Hayfield area in the southeast section of the park, but efforts shifted to Quail Mountain late on Saturday afternoon when his car was found at the Juniper Falls trailhead and searchers learned that he’d told friends he might hike there. Hasty teams searched the area that evening and operations continued the next day with personnel from the park, Joshua Tree Search and Rescue, and the Riverside and San Bernadino County sheriff’s offices. Several teams searched on foot and on horseback on Monday near the Lost Horse Valley area, and yesterday the operation expanded further, with about 100 people taking part, including dog and horse teams. No sign of him has yet been found. [Submitted by Joe Zarki, Public Information Officer]

Agreed.Just saw this today in the NPS Morning Report-not looking good.
The above quote was found at this link:The search for a man missing in Joshua Tree National Park continues today (Wednesday) for a fourth straight day. Riverside Mountain Rescue Unit (RMRU) joined the multi-agency search at first light on Monday. Reports from field teams on Tuesday indicated 100+ degree weather with search crews drinking in excessive of 2 gallons of water each.
