THe first time we hiked... We got to about the 1st creek crossing and there was a car alarm going off at the Portal. My Mom asked "Is that your car"... I told her that if it was the battery would be dead when we got back 'cause I certainly wasn't hiking back down to turn it off... didn't think of my car again ;-) (And no... it wasn't my alarm)
