Wow, a terrific story and WHY don't we hear this kind of thing on the news.. every FREAKING day ? There are sooo many wonderful people in this country, with big hearts and even bigger courage. I get so tired of Cnn going on and ON about the horrible . This guy is something very VERY special and the hikers and other who helped him can make us all feel good about this country. I tell ya, on all my hikes... every one.. i have met people that would amaze me with thier generosity. In many ways that is the best thing about these hikes. They reaffirm my belief in people... over and over again. way to go zero zero.. I tip my hat to you. Hike on .
