Oh man, this is bad news. Tough year on the Bells, I hope that this one turns out OK.

Sounds like a successful rescue underway on the scanner.

Re: Hikers Missing Since Wednesday
I'm hearing that too through local friends. Here's an update from Denver Channel: http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/lo ... near-aspen
Mountains cast spells on me - Why, because of the way Earth-heaps lie, should I be Chocked by joy mysteriously; stilled or drunken-gay? Why should a brown hill trail Tug at my feet to go? Why should a boggy swale Tune my heart to a nameless tale Mountain marshes know?

A moment of silence for our fallen brother of the mountains, and prayers for the recovery of the other both physical and emotional.
