condolences to the family and the hiker. Bells are a scary place. Very sad how many people have had stories with unhappy endings here. I hope the family finds peace.

Condolences, life is fleeting, a good friend's dad died in a car accident today. Some times, good people are taken away too soon and it is always a tragedy. It's a bit of of tired statement but the man died doing something he loved. Some solace should be taken in that.

To the guy running to notify SAR who went by us in the dark on the Buckskin Pass trail:
You were running fast and doing all you could do to get help.

Very sad. Although this man was pursuing a different goal in the mountains than most of us do, I am sure the peace and serenity that we find there are common to all. My heart goes out to his family and friends.
