Alpinfox Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 LINK LOS ANGELES - Two lost hikers survived three nights in rugged terrain thanks to supplies at a campsite of another hiker who vanished last year.... The pair found a backpack containing clothing and matches at the deserted campsite of John Donovan, [exactly] a year to the day after he disappeared in the San Jacinto Mountains. Kind of creepy.

olyclimber Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 "On Tuesday morning, they came to a large culvert choked with dried-out vines and other foliage. Day struck another match. “The whole acre or two caught fire, created a really big smoke signal” that finally alerted a helicopter crew, he said." Quote
sobo Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 yo, i'd get lost wid her anyday! Just remember what the bumper sticker said... "No matter how hot she looks, there's some guy out there who's damn fucking tired of her shit." Quote
catbirdseat Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 I'm sure they'll turn up Donovan's remains nearby. Most likely he died in camp and wild animals dragged his body off into the bushes somewhere. Quote
archenemy Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 It is just awful that an entire family can be torn apart by something as simple as a pack of wild dogs. Thank goodness those hikers were able to survive on their found booty. I wonder if this happens very often? Is there any type of cool "NW Accidents Narrowly Avoided" type book? Quote
G-spotter Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 Well, famously, DeskDriver and his Canadian buddies found a pack fulla gear while retreating off da Rupal Face. Quote
scott_harpell Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 Yeah, maybe a dingo ate him Hopefully a dingo will eat KFed's baby Quote
chirp Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 After reading the account one almost would think/wish the roles should have been reversed. Quote
catbirdseat Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 After reading the account one almost would think/wish the roles should have been reversed. How's that? Donovan was unlucky while the kids were stupid? Quote
luwayo Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 Deskdriver's compendium of scored booty must be pretty impressive by now. but i thought he was coming off nanga parbat with that particular windfall. Quote
Off_White Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 No offense, but I really think this thread needs to be here in Spray in order to achieve it's full potential. Quote
luwayo Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 aren't you both so witty. leave summiting that one to les poufs. Quote

"No matter how hot she looks, there's some guy out there who's damn fucking tired of her shit." Bullshit. She looks like the type of chick who can afford to dump a dude. More like "No matter how hot she looks, you don't have a fucking chance". Quote
sobo Posted May 12, 2006 Posted May 12, 2006 After reading the account one almost would think/wish the roles should have been reversed. How's that? Donovan was unlucky while the kids were stupid? Brian, I think chirp was referring to the notion that Recreational Darwinism was thwarted in this instance. Consider this excerpt from the article: They got lost Saturday west of Palm Springs after wandering off a trail during what was supposed to be a day hike. At first, they were not too worried because they could hear voices. “I still felt we were relatively close,” Day said, recalling that he thought the trail would “be around this next boulder.” Prepared only for a brief hike, they wore light jackets and tennis shoes and had no food, spare clothing or cell phones. emphasis added by sobo So I would surmise that the intent of chirp's post was that two unprepared people survived while one prepared person evidently has not.
