Thank God...A good ending for a change... Thank God...A good ending for a change...I’m glad they found them both.
I wonder how they got separated, although as bad as they were it probably shouldn’t be a surprise.
Just heard this on Fox news radio. Good news for the day.
Yes thank God.
One of the kinds of shows I like to watch are those survival shows. I can’t imagine a more trying condition to find oneself. I’d never wish such a slow death on anyone especially where dehydration is involved.
Thank God they were spared such a fate.
Thank God is right.... hope she uses more sense in the future.
A workable link hopefully...
My tenant here in L.A. was worried sick about her kid’s friends who were also lost since Sunday there... perhaps these are the same two. Will find out tonight when she gets back from work.
Wow! I went to the link and was told I had to be a subscriber or pay on an “a la carte” basis!
How do you get lost in Orange County for 4 nights in an era of cell phones???
Holy Jim hemself (sic) with a
couple of homees (sic)
TRAIL HISTORY: (From the Cleveland National Forest Website) If you expect that the Holy Jim Canyon is named for a pious, early preacher in the Santa Ana Mountains, you would be very wrong! Jim Smith was a beekeeper who settled in the north fork of Trabuco Canyon in the 1870s. It was said that: "Jim Smith was a talker...no ordinary talker... a man given to blasphemous eloquence. When he started cussing... he could peel paint off a stove pipe." When government surveyors first mapped the canyon, they chose to name it "Holy Jim" rather than "Cussin' Jim," since the word "cussing" was considered neither polite nor appropriate for a government publication.
If either of them had a simple solar charger (costs around $25), they could have been rescued before almost dying. They weight almost nothing and are the size of a small smartphone.
I would think that three items to always have when hiking in dangerous terrain would be a .44 magnum, portable gps and a satellite phone.
