My family and I had the recent troubling experience of trying to help a man
who had a heart attack on the trail. Nothing about his appearance would tell
you he was out of shape. In fact, his hiking boots were well worn. After
CPR failed and the rescue by EMT's appeared futile, we quietly left the wife
and son to grieve their loss.
You must know your limitations and be prepared to accept your fate. True, it
was a beautiful place to leave this life, but a sad and possibly premature
departure as far as his family was concerned.
