Rik,  You picked the wrong time and took the wrong caustic tone in your post.  Even experienced woodsmen and women have become lost just as many an experienced swimmer have drown.

Allison is alive and I'm sure she is quite aware of her situation. There is absolutely no need for you to add insult.  

Yes, there has already been tragedy in our parks this year and the ongoing search for a still missing young man continues.

Publicly scolding someone is not the right thing to do.  Maybe a letter to the editor suggesting taking proper precautions like taking personal protective equipment and a signaling device  before embarking on an adventure would have been the better tack on this issue.    

Thank heaven that she was found alive, although, a little worse for wear.  Thanks to all who helped locate her.  Welcome home Allison.
