Inappropriate to attack rescuers

Bruce Munroe

Dear Editor,

Let’s review. Two individuals, absent a definitive plan for an afternoon outing, decide to take up spelunking. They have no food, no water and a spent energizer bunny.

They haven’t told anybody about this fool’s errand, and then become indignant when the details of this pride-eating misadventure goes public.



Our hikers and hiker advocates then pull a psych 101, attempting to deflect the imminent tsunami of embarrassment by attacking public officials.

If DeCrow and Hadar wanted to go hide in Hubbard Cave now, I would understand that. But attacking the rescuers, that’s shameful.
