Sad To Hear

A hiker dies after being rescued from Tinkers Knob On the Pacific Crest Trail.

Two San Diego County residents were among a group of four hikers rescued yesterday morning in the Sierra Nevada.

One of the hikers, Phyllis Hall, 62, of Clackamas, Ore., died at a Truckee hospital a short time later, apparently from hypothermia, officials said. The others were cold and hungry but unhurt.

Rescuers found the group on the Pacific Crest Trail near Tinker's Knob in Placer County.

There were cold and rainy conditions on the mountain,

My condolences to her friends and family.
