[pct-l] Hiker Death

[Robert W. Freed]

This year will be the 10th Anniversary of Dr. Lowders death. He was well versed in back country travel. He had over thirty years of backpacking experience, including the AT and the John Muir Trail. Yosemite was his every summer play ground. He traveled world wide, serving as a Cruise ship doctor in his golden years. It was his choice not to carry a ice ax on that trip. We will never know for sure if it would have helped any way. Because of his exploits I was introduced into the world of backpacking at a young age.
   
  He is missed.
   
  Robert
