I have been listening to the Fox News channel about the rescue. They are saying that they are going Over the top of the MT. to search the north side. Trust me there is no reason to go Over the top of the Mt. to get to the north side :0) It simply means that the chopper will land them on the north side. What really ticks me off is that they went up there against all odds. There were avalanche warning up there for weeks. NOBODY CLIMBS MT. HOOD IN DECEMBER. You do it in May and hope to hell a late storm doesn't kill you on the Mt. The average snow fall on Mt. Hood is 120 inches I believe this year has been record braking rains which means that they probably have had a great deal of snow at the higher elevations. These 3 young men decide this is when they need to take on the Mountain?? I won't head back to Oregon until the end of Jan. I want to be home in time to whelp Tia's litter. Have fun in Oregon and take you rain gear and ice shoes :0) Jan is nasty in Oregon.

I really think that these people that do "extreme" stuff and need to be rescued need to pay for it. I hope and pray they are found alive, but seriously doubt it after this amount of time. Hey, are you going to the all breeds in Portland next month? I'm coming up! Candy > Want to climb Mt. Hood in December when there are avalanche warnings.? I feel very bad for the mothers of these boys but I am tried of people that have no clue about Mt. climbing coming to Oregon. There are now 50 rescue people climbing the mountain risking their lives to try to save them. > Terry > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Tired of spam? Yahoo!
