Letter from Dick Scar
Outdoors – November 2003 – Colorado Central Magazine
Editors:
Gail Binkly is one lucky girl to have survived camping for nearly 20 years in a $19.95 tent [September, 2003, edition]. She joins countless others having copious amounts of good luck who climb to the summits of the 14,000-foot mountains around us wearing shorts and a T-shirt and without raingear, maps, compass or any emergency gear. I am amazed after every summer season that the mountain trails are not littered with the bodies of some people I see on the trail.
