Well, they probably were some of the only women around that knew all of the South American countries…

Yeah, it’s the ‘pitcher’ side, and not the ‘catcher’ side…

Can you find a picture of a period correct back panel? All the ones I found look newer.
pretty sure this is accurate

That’s a ‘gerbil hole’ (heh), not a rabbit hole!
If you are an experienced idiot everything is possible. As they say if you make it idiot proof they invent a better idiot.How the fuck do you get lost in an area that has cell service?
Very familiar with that. Probably had 100 calls like this. Anything from the hospitals were from unknown/blocked numbers. Dread always overcame me when I saw my phone light up w/ those. F that.
I stumbled upon a photo shoot like this one time above Nevada City. It was quite interesting...The hikers (not really, but probably)
I believe that lady was climbing all the 14ers in high heels, it was on the local news a while ago. Might have been a charity thing, can't remember.
Years ago a friend of mine bought a pair of MTB wheels from a local mountain bike chick who was also an associate math professor at UVA. She wanted to meet at a local tire shop to swap wheels for cash, which seemed a little strange, but things got stranger. As he pulled into the parking lot he got a text from her telling him to go around the back of the building. When he did he saw that she was in the middle of a professional looking photoshoot where she was naked posing on stacks of used tires.
Happy ending?
Academia doesn't pay well.
Eh, I think this story was overblown.
From what I could tell the "lost" person didn't call for rescue, they just didn't return from their hike at the appointed time so S&R were alerted.
I have gotten into similar disagreement with my spousal unit (pre-cell phone, though most of the "good" trails are out of cell service) when she called the cops looking for me as I was late to return from a bike ride after getting lost due to recent logging activity on the trail.
They pulled me over shortly after I found my way back to my car @ midnight.
Thankfully I didn't have my post-ride beer open -- yet
My preference is to be given until Noon the next day, which should be enough time to walk out in the AM.
She disagrees, but I maintain I've limped out of every situation so far -- knock on wood -- and wouldn't want to waste S&R's time over a mechanical.
If I am lying on the trail concussed, broken or bleeding out after being half-eaten from a bear I don't see how 12 hours would make "much" of a difference anywho...
YMMV
