This is my big claim to rescue fame (if not fortune). The hairiest rescue I’ve ever done. The text below is stolen directly from my write-up on RMRU’s website. See video below.

John Donovan Recovery
May 30, 2006
In April, 2005, John Donovan set out to hike the Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada. Owing to the huge amount of snow that year, friends who had planned to hike with him urged to to postpone the trip by a few weeks, but he was intent on attending the annual PCT kickoff party at the Mexican border, so ended up hiking solo. On May 3rd he picked up a cache of food near Anza, intending to pick up his next cache on the other side of the San Jacinto Mountains near Cabazon.
