+briansnat Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 I recall reading something in the forums (I think southwest) about a geocacher who died of heat stroke while out on a hunt. I think it happened last summer. A government that is big enough to give you all you want is big enough to take it all away. -Barry Goldwater Quote Link to comment
+LarsThorwald Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 He was hiking here in SoCal. Long hike, over 100 degrees. Failed to revive. Charlie "One should never begin a journey by heading in the wrong direction." Quote Link to comment
+Divine Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Last Tuesday a Finnish geocacher at his 50's was found dead in his car still running on a parking lot. He was on a geocaching trip; the laptop computer was at its place, so it's probable that it was the big one and he didn't even realize it was coming. FWIW, that's how I'd like to go too. While doing something I love. Quote Link to comment

+Snoogans Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 There was a guy in San Antonio who fell down a ravine & had a heart attack. The medical examiners couldn't tell which happened first. Quote Link to comment
