[pct-l] "Death" at Walker Pass

I'm told most SAR would rather get called early for a rescue than late for a body recovery, so their services are no charge. 
I don't know about choppers though. It probably depends if it's a rescue chopper or an air ambulance.

I believe the airlift cost is covered by what many in the USA would
call an egregious waste of taxpayer money by our liberal socialist
nanny government.

Others might have a different opinion.
