re: #478 jcm

We had a case in WA of a Seattle women called an “experience hiker” how got lost (a few miles from I-90 in Snoqualmie pass). She was smart enough to following a stream down hill and get herself out several days later. In good shape, but dehydrated.

*in Seattle Water comes in bottles*

Experienced? Okay … as you say, at least she got out. Dehydrated after several days I’m not surprised at, though, even if she drank from the stream; around here, at least, that’ll give you nasty diarrhea.

I wonder if she had a knife, compass, and map? (Or, these days, hand-held GPS … I want, I want!) And if blazing trees is legal in WA.
