Hikers unprepared??? come on you must be kidding.....

Alright seriously now, My departed brother worked for the US forest service for over 20 years. The stories I have heard about ill prepared hikers are numerous.
Most all of them could have been prevented with common sense. Unfortunately in this day and age, perceived personal enjoyment, comes before common sense.

Last I doubt there are anymore stranded ill prepared hikers this year then any other year..... the warm weather has just made the situation happen earlier in the year.
