Bear Blaze here- We (Motley Thru) may have been the last people to talk to him. We saw him at Cornelius shelter during lunch. He was sectioning and it was his second day on trail. He sounded like he may have struggled up the incline that day but seemed fine when we spoke to him. He was talkative and in good spirits, happy to be on trail. Must have been natural causes. Our condolences to his loved ones.
That's a real shame. At least he died doing something he loved.Originally Posted by cbeaves

Doing what, gasping for his last breath?
I can't think of a better way to go . Hope I'm as lucky. My prayers to his family.
me too... when I am 110.
Sorry to hear about that, I feel bad for his family. But I also agree, that's how I want to go out someday. Hopefully in my favorite spot up in the Sawtooths. My grandkids will spread my ashes up there someday.
Sigh..
The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters.

Agreed. . . .
lots and lots of death out there this year.
Crazy.
Yeah for real, I just read the article about the woman being struck by lightning. Oh well, you can die in your bed with the doors locked or you can die outside having fun.

I did it. I said I’ll do it, and I’ve done it. [after she summited Katahdin] –EMMA ‘GRANDMA’ GATEWOOD

Shelter From The Storm
- Bob Dylan, 1975
’Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood
When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud
I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured
I’ll always do my best for her, on that I give my word
In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved
Everything up to that point had been left unresolved
Try imagining a place where it’s always safe and warm
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail
Poisoned in the bushes an’ blown out on the trail
Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
Suddenly I turned around and she was standin’ there
With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
Now there’s a wall between us, somethin’ there’s been lost
I took too much for granted, got my signals crossed
Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount
But nothing really matters much, it’s doom alone that counts
And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
I’ve heard newborn babies wailin’ like a mournin’ dove
And old men with broken teeth stranded without love
Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn?
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes
I bargained for salvation an’ they gave me a lethal dose
I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
Well, I’m livin’ in a foreign country but I’m bound to cross the line
Beauty walks a razor’s edge, someday I’ll make it mine
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
Yes thanks I did miss it,

My condolences to his family & friends
The trail was here before we arrived, and it will still be here when we are gone...enjoy it now, and preserve it for others that come after us
I'd also like to add my condolences to his family.
