Trip: Vancouver North Shore: Wander Alert

 

Date: 8/29/2007

 

Trip Report:

An elderly man left his home around noon dressed in t-shirt, shorts, and loafers. Something attracted his attention. That afternoon he was not seen at Kloochman and authorities were contacted. A little after dark the North Shore Responders to Nudnik Seniors Rescue Team found the man. He had no food, water, map, matches, headlamp, cell phone, gps, helmet, or helicopter. But those weren't important becase he did have a camera.

This is what i will be doing when i am 80. Good times.

 

About 5 years ago (maybe more), i met 93 and 94 year old men on the summit of Mt. Seymour. Good on them for still given 'er at that age. I don't think they were AWOL.
