Only a half mile up? That’s the good part of the road. Not quite sure how you could get in an accident that bad there unless you were flying…super sad! RIP to the one that was lost and healing energy out to the one left behind.

This person was not a rookie…been up there for more than 30 years. Some seasonal asshole probably ran her off the road.

Not a rookie. She has lived up there for years. Her steering locked up and brakes wouldn’t work.

Kim, I recently have started receiving your blog. Thank you the news is timely, your reporting true. Also your replies to comments are reasonable and fair. I ask that you consider having folks give their names when
Making comments as some of the comments are thoughtless, hurtful and very rude. I believe if people gave their names they might be more polite and civil in their tone. Best, Helen Ridley

Some people only have their names and you want them given away willy nilly? If anything, anonymity fosters conversation and objectivity. An anonymous poster shouldn’t make personal attacks because they can’t be personally attacked in response. But if two people, who wish to remain anonymous, want to hash out opposing theories in a polite manner befitting a public setting, their anonymity can promote a focus on the argument instead of the arguer.

We should treat the forums like the bar: a hallowed neutral ground where little is off limits but basic laws of decency are maintained since there could be little kids or old ladies nearby. But you can still smoke and swear, because if I can’t smoke and swear I am fucked.

Yeah, those little kids nearby while you’re in a saloon are a nuisance.

I don’t live in the area, but I know the person driving who was critically injured, her name is Louise, and I believe her passenger was named Katie who unfortunately didn’t make it. Louise was transported to a hospital in Redding and should be released today 8/29. A friend of mine is up on Spyrock today visiting Louise’s husband.

Super sad tough women wasn’t ready to leave the earth. Hopefully a lesson is learned here. And ask karma to catch up with the person who was in a big rush.
