FYI guys. Speed and fixed objects don't mix. Just slow down.

My condolences to his family. Way too young to die, and it sounds like he was alone. Be careful out there.

It is very sad and he will be missed. But at this time it appears that what was reported may not be totally accurate. It was a friend of mine and his that found him.

Thats horrible. We had a group of 8 on those trails to. Scarry stuff.

That is so sad, only one year older than I than am. A buddy and I were also on that trail on Sat during the day. My condolences to his family as well.
