Sad, but does not surprise me again how folks ignore all the warnings in these places.

[Christopher C.M. Cooke]

We could write the book in Australia about folk dying of dehydration and heat stroke while out enjoying themselves in our vast and beautiful Outback.

It is amazing that some will spend $150,000 on the latest and greatest 4X4s with in built fridges GPS systems then fit them with pretty (and useless in sand) wheels and wide tyres then pack the family loaded up with fine wine,and beer but with almost NO WATER.

Sadly every year the Outback takes it's toll and the USA has its fair share of inhospitable yet beautiful places, sadly mother nature takes no prisoners when we ignore the simple precautions.

Such a sad story of one so young. :(
