A poor choice of signalling for rescue

Grab your bear can or camp chair, kick your feet up and chew the fat about anything Sierra Nevada related that doesn't quite fit in any of the other forums. Within reason, (and the HST rules and guidelines) this is also an anything goes forum. Tell stories, discuss wilderness issues, music, or whatever else the High Sierra stirs up in your mind.

You can't fix stupid.

I like how the judge also sentenced him to take some basic hiking classes.

Wow, it will take him more than 122 years to pay his restitution.

I got a chuckle out of that. The punishment fit the crime, although he shoulda had some trail work thrown in as well.

Agree! The court said he was so unprepared that he created his own emergency.

So, once again, taxpayers will end up paying most the damages.
