![]() "Matt Whiting" wrote in message ... Yes, all are things that should have been done. However, I still am not convinced that the blanket advice to stay with the vehicle is correct. With proper clothing (not tennis shoes), I can easily walk 10 miles a day in pretty rough terrain The mother should be heralded for her heroism by feeding the children even though she was probably starved herself. Mr. Kim was likely already physiologically compromised; if Mrs. Kim was taking care of the children, he was probably the one removing the tires and working outside. If so, he may have been close to physical exhaustion and hypothermia when he made the decision to walk, and again when he left the road. Meanwhile, at this very moment, there are search and rescue people trying to evacuate climbers from MT. HOOD IN FREAKIN' DECEMBER. One of the roads to the mountain just reopened having been washed out by the winter storms, and the wind coming out of the east has been such that I haven't even bothered trying to fly on the sunny days...too damned windy to practice those power-off precision landings. One can only wonder about -those- hikers. "Worst string of weather we've had in over a year; most turbulent, cold and deadly winter conditions. I know...let's CLIMB A MOUNTAIN. If we get hurt, why, somebody will surely risk their asses to come bail us out. Their families will be -so- excited if those helicopter crews come home alive..." -c |
