I hoped and prayed all day that Sam would be found alive. His kids said he always had plenty of food and water and emergency supplies so I felt there was hope for him. I hope he did not suffer. I hate to think of him alone and suffering. He's at peace now so this we can be thankful for now. Rest In Peace Sam. I am not sure if I ever met you or passed you on the trail but I feel like I have known you for years because I have heard many people speak about you and I have read stories about you. Mt Baldy will never be the same without you. RIP Sam.
