SoCal West Point Grad dies in Colo hking fall

Postby arocknoid » Fri May 09, 2014 9:16 pm

With all the cautious posts about Skyline dangers typical for this time of year, sometimes we overlook the ever-present slip-and-fall risks.

Tomorrow will be the funeral for a fine young man, a good man, whose life has been cut short by just such a hiking accident.

Condolences, thoughts and prayers for family and friends.

I haven't seen any notices or obit in the OC Register; I'm posting here for the hiking community.

Bless you, Bao; you will be missed...
