In this day and age, you'll soon be found by a gaggle of cell phone toting teens who are uploading your plight to Tik Tok in real time ...

I know right! I shudder at the thought

Ha! Nevermind teenagers with phones, the NPS itself is posing on instagram photos of the rescued at mosaic canyon.
I would be so mortified....

Small price to pay if you need a rescue, if you ask me
Well I'm not going to get lost and and waste 18 miles wandering, that's for sure. As for a tibia breaking fall.... you gotta wonder. I took a nasty one in way upper mosaic making the last cross from side canyon to main trying to reach Twin Spring and came close to going over an edge on very unstable terrain... but didn't and just got badly scraped up. But here's plenty of places one can get hurt out there for sure.

A friend sent me a news report on this, which had this image of the Mosaic canyon rescue:

I find it amusing that the woman is still nursing her coffee.
Also, that "wheeled litter" looks like an absolute beast.

That coffee pose is priceless
I guess they did not get too far into the canyon.
RE: Latest Hiking Incidents - DAW89446 - 2023-02-10
Maybe the coffee belonged to the person rescued …
RE: Latest Hiking Incidents - MojaveGeek - 2023-02-10
I enjoyed mocking the coffee, but that pic appears to be at the canyon entrance near the parking lot, so could just be a bystander.
