I called the unaccounted for hiker this morning. Unknown to everyone, she had joined up with the husband and wife who hike with their big German Shepherd and they all had gone down from Broken Mesa an entirely different way than the rest of us.
When the last, slower half of the group got down from Broken Mesa, none of us knew that the unaccounted for hiker was actually safe and sound with the faster, first half of the hiking group.
Really, with a group that big, there should be better accounting of where everyone is. They try - they carry cell phones and walkie talkies to stay in contact. The unaccounted for hiker said when her cell phone rang yesterday and she picked it up, the connection dropped. Oh, well. How do I keep track of everyone but not make myself obnoxious about it? Maybe I should just let them worry about it.
