It was a terrible mistake and I shouldn't have done this trail. Sheer luck and generosity of other hikers are the only two reasons I'm not a hero of an article about local Search and Rescue trying to airlift an unconscious hiker from Mt. St. Helens.

Just read this report and HAD to check out the blog. Wow! So glad you made it through. I got pretty sick trying to do the Northern Loop in Mt. Rainier NP, but your story takes the cake. Stay safe :-) !
