Hiker stranded by cramps
By Mark Rhoads
A perfect time
for a call for a mission is when you are just
settling down for a nights sleep. Never the less,
load the gear and off to Idyllwild.
Once there I
found Operations leader Kevin Walker and Base
Camp operator Mary Bowman getting assignments
ready. It seems first we would have to locate a
hiker by the name of John Boyd, age 40, who had
earlier in the day experienced extreme leg cramps
and was unable to hike on. His companions hiked
on out and called for help. We finished loading
gear and were just into the field when we heard
voices. Fellow member Cameron Robbins shot on
ahead and sure enough it was John. His cramps
finally subsided and he was able to hike out.
So... gear back in the car and off to home for at
least some sleep.
