So much for the "leave nothing but footprints" adage. How many people were in her original party? Did you stop at one of the ranger stations (customs - anything?) to see if anyone was reported "missing"? Is that what Ely was for?

Wacken someone up-side the head with a paddle has momentarily crossed my mind on occasion, mostly because people leave garbage or worse, but leaving a person (with essentially nothing) stranded there? Who would even consider it an option? Much less allow it under the circumstance. Everyone has stupid impulses, but imagine paddling away, for what, a day or two with not much else to occupy your mind. Is that a genetic defect or did a few mothers fail big time. Here comes that urge again. Would someone please hand me my heavy wooden straight shaft.

Choose your partners well my friends.
