Obama but I find it a sad state of affairs when there are people and organizations who have dedicated years/lives to peace and human rights and the winner of the award hasn't even been in office for one year and certainly hasn't played a major part in improving the peaceable living conditions for anyone that I'm aware of.

So many unknowns, surely everyone will wonder what happened but I have heard stories of wind microbursts and other anomalies that could definitely contribute to these kinds of events. Do you have any thing that you wrote up about his bear attack? Just shows that while experience and skill reduce risk, they don’t eliminate it by any means. When you look at the Search & Rescue costs associated with these events, it makes me wonder if subsidizing some centralized cell phone towers in the most popular backcountry areas wouldn’t make sense. We talked about that very thing a number of years ago and while it sounds expensive it really isn’t when you have to put multiple helicopters/planes in the air more than a few times per year. Certainly wouldn’t have made a difference this time but in 80+% of events it probably would. Wow, sounds exactly like the kind of trip that you would do.
