"It was the second time this summer that Carroll had to be rescued. He got lost in June after climbing Mount Healy in Denali National Park." -The Daily Herald

While I wouldn't charge most lost hikers for rescue if I had the power over such things, this guy makes me believe it's perfectly acceptable to fine some.

Carroll has done a lot of hiking, and most of his trips have ended well. Even so, it makes me wonder if it's just bad luck that he was lost so badly on two separate occasions that he had to be rescued or if it will happen again.

2 Rescues out of how many trips for him this summer?

I know I am going to regret asking this, but what the heck is the "magic bus?"

Here is a video of the magic bus.

Maybe he could help a local Boy Scout group out?

A $20 compass and a $15 Nat Geo map would have come in handy.

Really? I think you get 2 freebies, then you're left out there. Seriously. Charge his butt for use of resources.
