She didn’t do anything to get out. She was rescued by others.
And, at 9pm how do you know there is a rattlesnake at the top of a 30 foot deep mine shaft? Glow in the dark?
Attention seeker.

GPS should have helped her based on her alleged experience.
15 mi. of trail is a long way to run though.

“He said GPS really, realllllly brought the idiots out of the woodwork.”
Same with driving. If you can’t navigate with a map, you probably shouldn’t be operating a 2-3 ton vehicle

Or Joshua Trees. But since I’m not sure, maybe either one. Where’s MarkTwain?

I thought that she might have done like John Rambo.

I hope she replaced the brush after she messed it up.

It was a click bait article without all of the click bait. Probably paid for by The National Organization of Trump and Mining Haters.

Has more to do with Freedom and your right to challenge Darwin.
Thank you. And living your passion as in post 20. A lot of other people under 40 probably dont understand.
Then No helmet or pads, no cell phone, no ground rubber under swings, no kiddie barriers everywhere, open 120v sockets.

She lost track of the trail on the way back? I dont get it. Didnt she just go back the way she came? Darn birds and lizards ate up all the granola crumbs she left to mark the trail. That said, I can see it'd be easy to lose a trail- trails seldom look familiar on the way back unless you are very attentive in noting unusual natural features, creating unusual features with stacked rocks, or in leaving broken branches. You may see side rails from one direction you did not notice going the other direction, or the trail may not even be visible on open dry ground, and the light is different and deceiving.

Geez, I’ve spent hundreds of hours alone in the wilderness all over the west. Lots of it with no trails at all. All of it with no cell phones or GPS. It didn’t exist, at least not for consumers.

It was like a jungle,One does need to be careful in the tropical rain forest around Phoenix. She's lucky that an Anaconda didn't get her and that she didn't fall in one of the many rivers and get eaten by piranhas

I live and work in a part of New Mexico that has been mined since the 1600’s. You learn what to look out for, and to be careful.
There’s no water, so why would developers give a damn?

She quickly realized that in order to make it out of the hole alive, she needed to keep herselfas well as the rattlesnakecalm.

So she blew the whistle attached to her pack and continued to scream for help.

Judy screamed and blew her whistle so much that she lost her voice for a few days and had to see a doctor for inhalation pneumonitis, a lung infection caused by inhaling contents into the lungs.

The structure of the hole wouldnt allow her to climb out, and her cell phone had run out of battery. A rattlesnake guarded the top of the hole in the ground.

Looking at the picture of her hands and legs in the article, all I could think was...Nice nails!!
