1st Call: Trail Rescue (above) – 2nd Call: Lost Hikers (11/26/21) – This was the first of two calls for service that we responded to yesterday. The second call was for two hikers lost near Cathedral Peak that had also run out of water and needed guidance coming down the trail. All hikers are safe and off the trails.
That’s not S&R volunteers there. Taxpayer funded, heavily pentioned firefighters. But I get it when the tourists/relatives come to town. Many are pretty clueless about the outdoors.
OMG! We have to pay taxes to get services and infrastructure! The Horror!
