[pct-l] Not the kind of story we want to hear.

[bholt at ix.netcom.com (Bill Holt)]

There's a great article about risks in the wild with some interesting
statistic in this month's Outside magazine.

Interestingly you have a much greater chance of death or injury from a close
encounter with a deer or other animal while driving to the trail head than
you do from any type of animal, insect or reptile attack in the wild.
