This is kind of a weird story but I used to pass this gentleman who popped up everyday flying a sign by my job. Nice guy named David. Well a local journalist took interest in him because he knew his name but not much else. Put his photo up and his family say the photo! Turns out he had been...
I just checked the geocaches in that area and it looks like other cachers are writing in the logs that he is missing, his handle, what geocaches he had already logged and are looking for him too.
I was just in Idaho a couple of weeks back. I too had no idea people hunted mountain goats. They do indeed climb up rocky areas like it’s no problem. I was amazed. I was too scared to climb over where these guys were.
This.
I was with a group and began to get elevation sickness that was making me feel disoriented beyond what I felt was ok at around 14k. Almost to the summit but we turned around because I was really struggling. No hard feelings. We had all as a group agreed that we go together. The mountain...
I had an experience once where I was indeed blown over by wind while backpacking along a ridge. It was so scary. The next day my face was swollen from the winds.

I bet the hiker who ran into him feels terrible. I know if I saw someone acting that disoriented on a trail and could I’d try and get them somewhere or make a call. I hope he is found alive and safe. This makes me sooooo sad.
As a fellow ultra runner I think he may have gotten off course or has an injury that knocked him off course. I hope he is found quick. I’ve been disoriented out on trail a couple of times due to heat or getting off trail and it’s scary.
