Whatever the story, it reeks of incompetence on her part. Didn't know how to self-rescuse. Didn't know how to navigate. Didn't know to tell someone where she was going.

She basically blew past all of the basic tenants of backcountry travel.

I agree Sandyann..at 3:30 in the afternoon, she was complacent enough to sit down and wait 6 days for someone to find her...thats a death wish...

Definitely an odd story. My biggest questions: why a press conference? Who called it?

Interesting comments and pics following that article:

Comments:
I have a friend who lives on her street. She might have stopped by his house and smoked some before she went hiking. That could explain why she was stuck for 6 days.


How about following the creek? Fall Creek isn't THAT difficult, especially if you're not injured


BTW: I see no basis for thinking Munchhausen or proxy (if by proxy, who is the proxy?)

The next time HPD says he never makes personal attacks, someone needs to remind him he is so full of crap that his eyes are brown

Of course he will come up with some insane aregument that his earlier post was something other than what it was

Of course the difference is I won't go running off to the mods like my ass is on fire

HAHA!

So you criticize everybody who posted on here for being critical, and I point that that is hypocritical (literally) - and that is a personal insult? Man, you are desperate to come up with something! Pointing out that somebody is hypocritical is not a personal insult last I checked, but I do understand that you may be desperate. LOL!

By the way, I am not one of the people who supported having mods, but if we ARE going to have mods, we have to play by the rules. The mods asked us to report violations, so that's the rule. If you don't like it, you can go elsewhere. If you'd stop making personal insults you wouldn't have to worry about it ... just a tip.

Impressing the feeble minded doesn't take a rocket scientist.
Or is it that your not allowed out of your Moms basement so any outdoor talk is like fantasy island to you?

WOW!

This cracks me up the more I think about it. Why WOULD you go to the mods, if I just said basically the same thing you said, that YOU were being critical? The only difference is that YOU were being critical of everybody on this board, where I said that by the act of saying it, you were too! LOL! Man, you crack me up. You were insulting. I was correcting your malformed logic. What would you tell the mods? That when you insulted everybody as being critical that somebody told you that you were doing the same thing? Yeah, let's start banning people for THAT! ... Get real.

Hey, take the personal attacks back to fuego!

Does having an opinion constitute a personal attack? I digress..


Some douchebag on the other site said stories like this make him remember to bring his PLB. Why don't you also remember to wear a diaper in case you s-hit yourself. And bring your mommy in case you need a kissy. What a bunch of poossies over there. Gaccc!
