Looks like they were kitted out for much colder weather. The were wearing long sleeved undershirts and full combat type fatigues with bullet proof vests. Their insignia said the were Forest Service, but they look like a SWAT team.

That, incidentally, is the only reason the white people took the land from the native americans. The bravery and sheer audacity of the natives would have easily lead to their victory had they had a unified front and a real vision of the full campaign against them.

I know this is off topic but there's no way the Natives could have formed a unified front to fend off the American move West anymore than all the Europeans nations of the period could get together. They were mortal enemies with different languages, customs, history and traditions. Indians were not one unified group. I think the Americans used that against them.

And I don't think they were more brave than anyone else—more savage, perhaps—but gained the reputation of fighting valiantly to the death because, unlike Americans and Europeans, they treated captors ruthlessly, torturing, burning, dismembering and raping anyone captured alive. Indians would not be captured alive because they knew what was coming and because of that gained a reputation as fierce fighters.

And I don't even want to get into them getting "their" land back. The BLM land grab is the only thing that comes to mind in this respect.

Something is wrong with the forum software. If I quote a post, it doesn't show up in the new post even though I can see it if I edit.

First off let me start with I don't wish any ill will on people (unless you are with the DWA), did I say that??? YES i did and I paid $400. to do so.
Second off, I have been up there in August, in July and its HOT, don't go unless you are conditioned and then there is still something wrong with you. did i say that too? YES, i have issues, we all know this......lol
Thirdly, is it just me or is it always some sort of law/marine/gov. based people that keep getting rescued on San Jac period?
Last but not least, WHY would our "law enforcement" send people up in those temps, regardless of their condition? OR lack of??
There, I spoke my peace.
