Just returned from hiking into Yellowstone from Camp Loll. Saw much bear sign and fresh mountain lion tracks just two hours after a rain shower.
If you're a scoutmaster and want to expose your troop to a BS camp offering a wide range of challenges, consider Camp Loll.

My wife told me about this and also said there was a family, parents and a child, hiking and the parents died for lack of water, I can see getting thirsty and dehydrated but cant imagine dying for lack of water on a trail, anyone heard of this?I may grow old but I'll never grow up.

Apparently the family was visiting New Mexico from France and were hiking in the desert. There's not a lot of specific details on how it all happened yet the article did say that they were out hiking when the mother got sick and headed back to the car. At some point she collapsed and later died. The Rangers stumbled on her body during routine patrol. Upon inspecting her camera they learned she was with her husband and son. They broadened the search and located the two. Dad was deceased and the son was still alive.RIAP

the only thing i can add is that they were hiking in white sands national monument, its not a "trail" but you hike from post to post. they didn't have enough water. news reports say the parents gave the boy 2 drinks for every one they took, but i don't know how in the world they would know that. smart thinking by the rangers saved that boys life.2,000 miler

Sounds kinda like that video I saw on youtube of '50 mistakes spotted on the AT' one was a guy with a cast iron skillet dangling off one side of his backpack. It looked to be about 8-12 inches across. Gee, thats dumb.--

Nothing wrong with carrying a skillet if that's what you feel like doing.Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them. -

Places like that have warning signs up. I know Death Valley does. I was watching a documentary on geology of the North American continent and they mentioned people go into Death Valley all of the summer, and never bring enough water to survive. One of the Park rangers talked about it... he said they find dried up people every year.--

I don't know how anyone could carry sufficient H2O while hiking in Death Valley during summer months. The folks I know whom hike or bike DV do so during late fall thru the winter. Caching water is also a technique much used.

Getting back on track,
Lance was a seasoned hiker and put up a good fight. (No mention of Bear Spray or defensive weapon) He had defensive wounds on his arms. Lance worked and lived in Yellowstone National Park for five seasons as a longtime employee for Medcor, a company that operates three urgent care clinics in the park.

another bear/cat story...bear tries to get into condo via cat door.
SCHWEITZER MOUNTAIN, Idaho – An Idaho man got the surprise of his life when a bear stuck its headthrough a cat door at this condo on Thursday night.
Doug Harder said this is not his first run in with a bear. He said a bear and two cubs climbed up the side of his condo onto his second floor deck at the end of May to eat birdseed.
He got another surprise visit when he went on vacation last week. He returned to his home only to find a bear yearling had broken into his condo.
Harder said the bears broke in through a second story door, ate food and defecated on his carpet. In an effort to keep the bear away, Harder said he closed the door but the bear came back Thursday morning and Thursday night, and that's when he snapped the pictures of it poking its head through the cat door.
