Lt. Dan and I hiked from the Devil's Marbleyard to the James River Footbridge yesterday. The weather was great!! We drove back to the Marbleyard trailhead and there were quite a few rescue vehicles and police. A group of hikers, three ladies and a man, had hiked up the Marbleyard and had separated. The man was only 26, heavy and had a pacemaker; he had been missing for 3 hours when we arrived. Apparently he had decided to get off the rocks and fell. He was knocked out for a while. They finally located him and it was midnight before they got him off the mountain. I guess he's doing OK.
The hike there can be slick, rocky, and strenuous. Don't why folks that are so out of shape with medical issues attempt such a hike.......
