The Sacramento Bee is reporting that the CHP has rescued a “hiker” from the Pacific Crest Trail. The guy they rescued was only 12 hours into his hike when young Dartagnan ran out of water “due to the drought” and became lost.
There are a number of things that I find questionable about this story. Not that the guy wandering around was named Dartagnan, not the silliness about the drought causing him to run out of water, and not even that he became lost after 12 hours of hiking (at night) on a part of the trail that is fairly easy to see.
From the article:
“He scampered into the open beyond the tree line where pilot Souza was able to make a landing at the edge of a cliff.”
Just so that we’re clear: Hikers hike. They don’t “scamper.” Ever.
