Was Yi Pin hiking in the area? I really hope that she's somewhere safe.

@GuyfromCanada, apparently she was day hiking, according to this link.
Here’s what looks to be a photo from surveillance video of her in a doorway (photo from the same source I’ve linked above)

It’s sad there’s not more information about this woman’s case.

Wish we knew info such as:

How did she arrive at such a remote location? Did she drive there? Or, did she get separated from a tour group, perhaps? No mention of a car.

Where does she live? Does she live somewhat nearby, in AZ or NV? Any familiarity with the area?

Where was the surveillance video of her taken from, as I don’t see any building by the Pearce Ferry landing?

No updates that I can find.

I found a white pages listing for someone of that name and age with ties to Nevada, but showing current address as Pennsylvania. https://www.whitepages.com/name/Yi-Long BUT in looking at Nationwide listings, with no age breakdown, there are two many names to count.

A female over age 65 hiking alone? I don't care how fit she appears, too many unforseen events can occur in isolated areas. (Rock slides, twisted ankle, getting lost, encountering snakes/aggressive animals, dizziness or other health issue, inability to use cell service, dehydration, etc.) Ugh, I just realized I misread the dates. She has been missing since Feb, 2...not Feb.22...not good.

Standing atop a hill after a long and grueling hike, it's easy to feel invincible. You've pushed yourself to your limits, survived nature's sometimes unpredictable conditions -- what could stop you now?

I know many of the reports say she was "day hiking" but to me it looks as if she were dressed more for a casual day running errands as opposed to hiking a remote area. If this is the correct area it sounds like it's' been closed as a boat launch for years due to the low water levels and outside of 10 primitive camp sites, there's no water, no cell phone coverage, really NOTHING there scenic or otherwise that I could see. https://www.riverlakes.com/pearce.htm

I'm from Chicago - I think our idea of scenic involves hot dogs, baseball and traffic . . but thanks for making me smile this morning. Grace

Well that would make a change from sheep, forests and hills here in Scotland.

I think it sounds like a serene place, definitely somewhere I'd gladly go to myself just for the peace and quiet and beautiful views.
