Wow....I have to share this. I follow the RMNP rangers on Twitter, and they just posted this link. We always hear about people having to be rescued, but how often do we ever see it photographed? Case in point--- http://www.rmnpforums.com/forums/topic/19926-rescue-on-longs/page__p__244425?s=84be910b016a76fc8339ad721f744a16#entry244425 WOW! that is one LUCKY person! Now if that isn't enough to make you say "!J*&%&!!!!!" I don't know what is. Amazing photograph.
