So long TJ Can't Post

here I sit again in this forum, kinda stunned, didnt catch the name last week, knew that someone had died hiking, I didnt know it was you.

blue skies TJ, I will never forget the motorcycle convention in seattle where you kept cracking jokes about my broken leg and how slow I was moving around, even though you kept slowing down cuz leonard wouldnt, Every time I saw you at the dz or at leonards you always had a smile for everyone, and some of the silliest jokes.
You survived a goddamn brutal grizzly attack where most would have laid down and died...
a fall hiking??

fuck.

Sadly, this is a good reminder of why nobody should ever hike alone.

Things happen and even in this case it is unclear if it was a sudden fall or a slip that could not be recovered from without assistance.

Experienced people who are true experts still die in the Beacons due to exposure and falls, it is the same everywhere we go.

Being alone means help will not be there at all.

I couldnt disagree more with your conclusions regarding hiking alone. Its not your place to determine other peoples tolerance for risk. Extend the same courtesy to the fallen hiker that you would want wuffos to extend to you.

Endless summits TJ.
