Another rescue - This time at Hermit
Monday – Park staff flew by helicopter to Hermit Creek Campground to treat and evacuate a 57-year-old woman in critical condition with stroke-like symptoms. Due to the lack of a safe landing zone anywhere near the campsite, she was short-hauled to a nearby landing zone in open terrain, then flown to a waiting medevac helicopter at the South Rim helibase.

Well, I'm 57, and I will be camping there this coming Monday! Just so you know it wasn't me!

I did check the calendar when I saw this thread. You don't seem to be a likely stroke victim, but you never know.azbackpackr wrote:Well, I'm 57, and I will be camping there this coming Monday!

Re: Another rescue - This time at Hermit
Just for the record, I can't afford the helicopter flight out so leave me be if I stroke out!

Ok, Robert, you got it. Can we also loot your gear, your food stash, and your wallet?

I was hoping for lunch at Maswik, too, I'll see if he has at least a 20 in the wallet. Maybe a nice camera, GPS, you never know what you might find on a dead guy...
