I have come across your blog now and then in researching DV stuff but hadn't seen it in a while. I just read the entry about finding the body and using the InReach. Clearly this is an excellent example of why it is useful to have two-way comms out there (I have an InReach as well) - you wouldn't want a chopper showing up to extricate you when you were reporting something like that. I've seen in one of their online videos that it's also fine to even send a message if you simply run out of gas - again, because you can explain the nature of the emergency. I've never hit that button, but heard several stories from people like you who did.
I quite enjoyed finding that trashed wagon - it was a piece of work with various repairs over the years - but had not heard that it was rumored to be LeMoigne's. Interesting tidbit, thanks.
And... you're not the only 70 yr old who lurks here
