With the cold, winter weather blowing in from the ocean...many rescuers will be put at risk.

Any S & R member needs to remember, remain a rescuer, not a victim. Cool, level headed thinking, is your best weapon against the elements. Only go as far as you can make it back from, otherwise, you too will be a victim.

While I pray for their safety, I also pray that our rights to be free, are not threatened. They chose the climb, if they die on this climb, at least they died free. That may sound cold, but anything else is honoring nanny state-ism.

Prayers for the S & R members, and others involved, that things will break right in a rescue today.
