Must be a call of the wild thing...

Paying for standard emergency services such as auto accidents is one thing, but elaborate helicopter rescues are bit much.

I am sorry, but I live here. And helicopter rescues/searches are a daily occurence in this state. Part of the price of having mountains that people want to explore. There are avalanches and other winter accidents here all thru the winter that require helicopter search and rescues. Are you going to stop all of these activities?
