[pct-l] Hiker rescued near Snow Creek/Fuller Ridge was NOT dehydrated

[Ate Tuna]

While I thank you for telling us more about Sarah and her situation, I also
suggest that you wait for all the facts before slandering a restaurant that
many of us enjoy eating at, and if you have those facts, please present
them.  If the food there was bad, I'm sure there were several other hikers,
locals and tourists that also got sick.  I ate there myself on the 5th and
thoroughly enjoyed the meal and the company I ate with.
