I
was one of the six hikers Tuesday morning who passed Sarah on the
trail. I first heard that she was missing when I returned to work
Thursday morning and a coworker mentioned it to me. When he brought
up the KATU web page and I saw her picture, I know right away we
had passed her on the trail. I instantly called Clackamas Sheriffs
department. I remember her mentioning the hot cocoa at Timberline,
and kept thinking of that all the way back to the lodge. My impression
of her from our brief encounter was of someone comfortable in these
elements and happy to be there.
I
am sorry for your loss. It has touched me too.
