We saw the emergency vehicles responding and watched the helicopter from our vantage point across the valley. Heartfelt sympathy to the family.

Thank you for posting that. A very garbled (naturally) version appeared in the Desert Sun (they had her rappelling somewhere on Highway 243). It's very sad, especially because she was so young. The story is still somewhat confusing. I wonder what happened.

My sympathies to the family.
