The Riverside Volunteer Search & Rescue group must be getting tired of searching
every year in the rugged mountains through which the PCT passes. They've 
installed
two emergency stations for lost hikers with solar powered beacons to light the 
locations after dark.

Four deaths noted in this article. Same area PCT hiker John Donovan died in 
2005.

The S&R people actually do a lot of work in that area. They have a website.
