Yarnell Hill Fire

Post by outdoor_lover »

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty & well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, totally worn out & proclaiming, "Wow What a Ride!"

Eric Marsh may have been at the ranch prior to Granite Mountain's entrapment. This casts even more doubts on the honesty of the federal investigation:

As a Division Supervisor and if the ranch was in his Division I would think it would be expected that he visited the ranch.

I'm not going to be reading that. I don't need any more grief in my life. Most of us don't need to wallow in grief, in fact. It's not good for us. It can become a bad habit. I know this from personal experience. It's not that I don't care about what happened to the firefighters and their families. It's that it's done and over with, and I can't do anything about it. It's not a part of my own life.

You want a hike that will change your life---hike the legal way to the 19 area---which if you are going down Yarnell Hill and you see the white elephant---hike up the steep terrain that way to the mountain top or when I take a 4 directors this Fall and others---join us for the hikes another legal way---IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE! It did mine not because I was the last civilian hiker to see the GMHS and I took a lot of photos/videos that weekend & 6-30-13 but because of what still remains there---

I challenge you to experience it---
remember to have your state land permit and to know the legal ways and what areas are restricted both state and private-
VERY IMPORTANT!

Not my cup of tea. I prefer life-changing experiences such as rowing Grand Canyon, living in a foreign country, etc., but not going to see something about how or why people died. I don't go to Civil War battlefield monuments, either. Lived in Hawaii 8 years, never went to Pearl Harbor. Too, too sad. Nothing I can do to change what happened. I can live my life now, in the now.
