What a tragedy. Please be careful up there and watch your footing.

I pray she was not geocaching. By design, my 3 caches up there are not near the edge.

That is tragic. It sounds like she was too close to the edge and either slipped or tripped. Either way, none of your caches would have placed her in a spot likely for the misfortune. Sad just the same though that the accident was unnecessary.


Cache, responsibly.....

I really hated to hear the awful news from Yonah Mtn. The day we was up there, I noticed some folks out on the edge in a spot that I considered very treacherous. Just hope that everyone stops to think about how serious the consequences are for a mistake on that kind of terrain.
