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!"

Job well done Ranger Nick Hall. You have earned your rest in heaven. The lives you saved are forever in your debt.
We take Rangers for granted and fail to appreciate all that they do. Stories like this remind us of the sacrifices they are willing to make - and sacrifices they do make - so that we can enjoy our hobbies.
Anybody can make a hike harder. The real skill comes in making the hike easier.
