MS9x56's post shows a reply to "ironbender". Perhaps he was only partway through the thread and hit "reply" to the below post. If so, then maybe some slack is appropriate. If not, then I agree, stupid and inappropriate. I won't make that assumptive jump just yet.

Or - chit happens.

Hiked Falls Creek and Ptarmigan Lake trails yesterday and today. Lot's of bear crap. And other hikers.

Not one had spray or a firearm. We had both - wife the spray, I was packing the '94. Coming back down Falls last night after the sun was behind the mountains, and other hikers long gone, I was hot chambered! smile

We’ve ridden up the res and seen runners in shorts, sneakers, and the omnipresent ear buds.
That’s it. Nothing else.

SMH.


As to Mr. Schilling, may he R.I.P. Prayers and well-wishes to his family.
