Default "Bad Weather and Tragedy Brings Us Off Mt Washington""

Ben on the Trail: "Bad Weather and Tragedy Brings Us Off Mt Washington" ...... www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihwSRmp18zs ..... filmed on August 21 on the summit area of Mt Washington and August 22 down the bottom, somewhere, and published on August 30

A short You Tube video by A.T. thru hikers, Day 154, which shows and talks a little about the "very cold" August 21, Mt Washington weather and the unnamed 72-year old male hiker from Virginia whose dead body was found on the trail.

Ben: "It was very cold out, this hiker probably died of exposure."

Ben: "Like, if we would have pushed on, then we would have had to of walked by the dead body. So we decided that we were done."

Ben's Sister: "Not for us ...... bad omen ..... it was really crappy weather ...... it was not safe ...... get off the trail."

Ben' Sister: "Don't hike unprepared!"

Ben in closing: "Hike on happy hikers, we'll catch you next time, hike prepared, please, everybody."

Ben's Sister: "Same thing!"
