Hiker story


Paying attention to this story today about a missing hiker in north Georgia.
It's interesting that the dog's leash was found in the woods, but then the dog miles away south in another county. The missing woman's car was in a lot where you can park to hike an access trail.
I've hiked Blood Mountain many times, both with friends and alone. On the Appalachian Trail, the mountain always feels safe to me because there are usually lots of people out. And their four-legged companions.

Allison, I loved your column yesterday. Hope it will be a regular thing.
The hiker story is indeed sad. We all would have felt she was safe with the dog along. As a canine lover, I feel sorry for the dog, too, but at least he lived. It appears she did not. So tragic.

Yes, very very tragic.
And thanks about the column.
