Patricia Lawler: Lost hikers shouldn’t pretend otherwise
Re “Were missing hikers rescued?” (Front page, June 23): To the hikers recently lost and found in the Sierra Nevada/Tuolumne County. Happy you were found. However, the male hiker was adamant they were not lost. If you were not lost, why did you wait three days to be “found” with only a packet of honey for food? It would have saved the taxpayers a lot of money spent looking for the two of you. Be grateful and put your ego aside.
