As another member has said, it is very unnerving being in the woods when high winds start blowing. I couldn't agree more.
My condolences to family and friends.

Probably not.

It appears as though FoxDC posts mug shots of wanted individuals as a public service. The photo is on the same page as the hiker story, somehow the newsfeed program picked up the photo.

Such a shame and so sad.... Whenever we go into the woods, we run the risk of a "widow-maker" taking one of us out.... Condolences to the family.

Yup, maybe merge the threads and loose the header, cause this guy looks like a Goof, and is not the talented deceased unfortunate hiker.
