Late afternoon, sun setting, Thursday, on  a track with occasional people, coming down reaching 9700,' cold, windy 'n nasty through the shade, comes a hallooo-ing voice:  Search and Rescue calling for a lost woman, God Bless her.  Not the altitude or weather for that to have a good outcome.....  Thousands of acres to search.   One's only chance is to carry a garmin

 

I hope myself to get time to push the button, so they can come get the dogs.

I hope they found her. One night outside should be ok. Will they send the helicopters to search ?

It turns out Thursday it was reported - she's been missing a week now since last Monday......  As for being out a night and surviving - only with a space blanket bag.  The Labs would've found her if she was within 150 yards of the trail - nothing.

Choppers, horsemen, motorcycles, hikers teams.... Some get lost on purpose, but she signed the trail book, so unlikely this time.  God Bless her.
