Mount Adams Hiker Survives<\/p>\n

(Gotta point out that Derek was eventually found by a search-and-rescue dog that just happened to be a golden retriever. Some of you may know that I’m quite fond of the breed, and that my Molly is a twelve-year-old golden. Here she is on the Pacific Crest Trail on the way to Deadfall Lakes<\/a>.)<\/p>\n
