The greatest hidden gotcha with the card is that it only gets you out of being charged if you were merely 'negligent.' They're still free to charge you for rescue if you were 'reckless.' Hairsbreadth difference.I'm not lost. I know where I am. I'm right here.

And I assume they will be the judge on that decision.The road to glory cannot be followed with much baggage.

Not me, I live dangerously. But then again, I won't be calling for a rescue because I am tired of hiking and then not even wait around one hour for that rescue. Jeesh!“Of all sad words of tongue or pen,

Anyone get such a card?
Personally I think that they are idiots for charging for rescue in the first place. It is terrible publicity for their tourism industry and they're probably losing far more money in tax revenue than they are gaining from rescue costs. On top of that there are numerous examples around the country of how charging for rescue can cause people to delay caulkng for help when they should and instead waiting until their situation is much worse, thereby endangering themselves and their rescuers.Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them. -

But then again, it is usually not the "rational" people that need to be rescued.The road to glory cannot be followed with much baggage.

Edit to add:
Not sure if this link was already shared, but here is a link to the Colorado SAR board discussing incidents where rescues were delayed and complicated by individuals who feared being billed for them.
