[pct-l] "Death" at Walker Pass

[Jerry Goller]

Hmmm. I wonder if that was me. SAR lifted me out 4 or 5 miles short of Robin Bird Spring on the 16th with severe dehydration and kidney failure. 

I'm much better now....   =o)

Apparently diabetes and the desert is more challenging than I thought.

Wow, good to hear there was no death, BUT hopefully there is good news about the hiker. Thanks for the info.
