Lost hikers find more lost hikers and then even more lost hikers

Think the author may have had his tongue planted firmly in his cheek on that story. Sounds like lemmings in the Bermuda triangle.
 
I think it's real. I read that story earlier today and laughed at how ridiculous it all was. I was amused for much of my lunch hour.
 
what happened to my post...??? :D :D

maybe i never posted...

i wanted to say that the second set of hikers were not lost since they were found by the first ones... :D :D :D

also, this is another reason why we carry knives... imagine those lost hikers had any injuries and we had to stay with them overnight... we could build shelter and everything... :D
 
So, no one had a compass and/or a map. I bet no one had a knife or any way to make a fire, either.

Sheesh! They were hikers. They went there to hike, not to survive.

:p

Edit to add: "the area had generous amounts of snow cover that caused the hikers to lose the trail and follow various sets of tracks branching out in different directions." In other words, not a good place for helpless people.
 
Man they wasted hundreds of tax payer dollars in fuel to hover a helicopter over a trailhead when someone could have just got on the loudspeaker and yelled; "Marco!"

Well, "survival" is relative. My idea of survival is to eat at really nice restaurants in Beverly Hills, but I still have a map and compass in the car!

In all my years in New York City, I helped people many times, tourists who were lost.

Midtown Manhattan, with all its theaters and restaurants, shouldn't be so confusing. The avenues run north-south, the streets east-west. People would stare at their maps, bemused.
 
the sad part is i was on that same trail a day befor this happend... i dont see how you could get lost up there..or i jsut have a good sence of deriction

Why the H*ll didn't anyone have the common sense to realize if they followed the tracks from the trail, they could follow them back to the trail? Common sense ain't all that common now is it?
