Mm.
After I graduated college, I ended up moving to Jacksonville for work. I didn't know anybody when I first moved, not until I signed up to an all female yoga class and met two like-minded women.
What happened when the host decided to hike solo in Osceola National Forest?
For context, I too was a female in her mid-twenties, and the three of us had a lot in common. We were health nuts, independently minded, and we each had a deep love of the natural world. So I guess it was only a matter of time before one of us suggested that we all go hiking. It became our primary form of exercise, and it was great hanging out with them, but for me, it went a little beyond that. I guess it was a combination of burning off steam and the gratitude that you feel for everyday luxuries after walking somewhere wild and kinda scary. But hiking became a big chunk of my hierarchy of needs, as it were. And then one day, after both my friends just so happened to cancel at short notice, I thought, screw it.
I'm going solo. Now my usual haunts would vary, but on this occasion I decided to do a little exploring in the Osceola National Forest. Osceola has a lot of swamp and a lot of wildlife, but thankfully, enough solid ground to make for a solid hike. I'd never visited previously, but it was only being about an hour's drive away and I figured that it was a fine choice for a day's hike. Now, it's honestly one of the most beautiful places I'd ever been to, but in all the years since my visit that day, I haven't been able to bring myself to go back. And if I had one piece of advice for those that visit. It's stay on the trails. It was about one in the afternoon when I was walking along a wide stretch of sandy trail with patches of spaced-out pines on either side of me.
How did the sinkhole accident unfold and what role did the Garmin InReach play in the rescue?
Now these specific pines are really tall and skinny with only a few bunches of leaves towards the top, so the whole place had this eerily beautiful feeling that I enjoyed so much about places like that. How nature is sometimes beautiful and terrifying all at once. Now I was a pretty experienced hiker by that point, so I like to step off the trail sometimes and walk just a little bit into the wilderness to get a sense of how wild and free things once were, before people were around to change that. Now I didn't push my luck. I'd like to think that I had an appropriate amount of reverence and respect for the natural world, but sometimes it's not a matter of caution, it's a matter of luck. And on that day, my luck ran out.
After stepping off the trail I was treading on pine needles and very soft earth. Not so soft that it felt waterlogged or muddy, there was just a very nice give to it. It didn't feel unstable, it wasn't suspiciously uneven in places, it just looked nice and peaceful and relatively safe. But then, and out of nowhere, it felt like the ground opened up to swallow me. I screamed as I fell, and at first I remember that rush of air past my ears, and then I quickly came to a thudding stop as the sinkhole squeezed off towards the bottom, and gravity forced my legs into it. Feeling my legs get all scraped up was agony. With all the fear that I was feeling it was like the pain barely even registered. All I was feeling was this horrible panic as my world was being plunged into near darkness and suddenly not being able to move.
Now it was easily the most frightening experience of my whole life, and I could barely see because I had all this dirt in my eyes that turned to mud as I tried to wipe it away.
What led the private investigator to the mysterious ‘777’ clue in the missing‑brother case?
But through all of that, I had this one bright burning hope inside of me, and all because I had this teeny tiny transponder on my backpack called a Garmin Inreach.
