[pct-l] Another missing hiker found

[shon mcganty]

I'm going to keep it short and put in my 2 cents:
 
I think the PCT community needs to do a self evaluation in regards to what responsibility
they hold in making sure they do not need rescue.  There seams to be so many more rescue
missions for PCT hikers than your week-end hikers.  A SAR event should be very rare, mostly occurring
following injury.  I love to get the
details whenever I hear of another "hiker being rescued" story, and
the majority of them are situations where the hikers should have been able to take
care of themselves.

I was thinking the same thing. He is not a missing PCT hiker, he and a
friend were in some lava beds looking for caves. I fear he may have found a
good one.
