Prophet Zacharia Posted November 10, 2019 Share #1 Posted November 10, 2019 Alan Stringer, 40, of Huntington Beach, was reported missing Monday evening when he didn't return home after a hike, the Inyo County Sheriff's Office said in a statement. Investigators found his body Thursday at the top of the Darwin Glacier, which is near the base of Mount Darwin. Stringer did not tell anyone his hiking plans or potential routes, and authorities said he'd recently bought hiking equipment and took mountaineering course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 10, 2019 Share #2 Posted November 10, 2019 Most backcountry searches are for unprepared persons. Even in the Adirondacks it can be summer in the valley and winter conditions at high elevations. I’ve seen people in flip- flops miles from a trailhead.

Good for him, everybody needs a hobby. Plus, it is nobody's business where he wants to hike. How the hell are you supposed to know where you are gonna hike until you get in the car and start heading somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prophet Zacharia Posted November 10, 2019 Author Share #4 Posted November 10, 2019 Despite these warning, we still saw numerous people wearing flip flops to hike down a rugged, rocky trail with young kids with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicks make you want to do that, you know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
