I'm sure glad that we bailed on our hiking plans yesterday. Conditions were starting to deteriorate rapidly. Even the drive back from the San Juans was starting to get dicey. Those CSM kids are only 20 years old... things happen at that age. Fortunate that they had a PLB with them.

Things happen in the mountains at any age. Glad they're ok!
