> Mycoskie’s false report led to about 532 hours of search time directed in the wrong place, according to the park service’s statement. “This wasted valuable time that could have been focused on searching areas of higher probability and it cost the Federal Government approximately $17,600,” the agency said.
seems cheap
Two Irish lads missing on American mountain trails.
I wonder what possesses them to think it is something they can take on alone?
Surely this current lad must have had foreknowledge of what happened to the other hiker from Midleton before setting off. And his disappearance is just as mysterious.
Always stay in the group.
Americans I know have noted that Europeans arrive over not really understanding how remote and dangerous the wilderness can be in the states. I moved over to SF after 30 years in Ireland, and it really is much safer in terms of natural hazards back home. Temperatures can suddenly get extreme out here, and phone coverage is terrible in rural areas.
