Hopefully your next post will be full of good news. :)<br /><br />I took a back-packing seminar that REI put on years ago, and one thing I learned is to NEVER leave base camp without at least a day pack containing water, a compass, one of those metallic blankets in a small packet, a jacket, matches, cell phone, a whistle, etc. Lots of stuff, but it all fits in a day pack. Then if you get stuck, at least you will survive until help comes. But I'd never hike in these temps. That's just not using good sense. I, too, am sorry for their families.

Next time we have a blog from you, hope to hear great news about how well he is doing!! :)<br /><br />I know exactly what you mean about the hikers. Even without that extreme heat, people do stupid things. When we are hiking in the Adirondacks we meet people on the trail wearing sneakers or even sandals to hike a high peak. Sometimes they don't have any water, or are carrying one bottle of water with no backpack and other supplies. This past month on our way down we met an older woman going up who was obviously not in great hiking condition who told us her husband had gone up earlier that day but she didn't feel like getting up early, so she was hiking up by herself. People sure make some crazy decisions.
