Not Pop Culture At All . . .

but this article in the Washington Post is so eerie and sad I had to share it. One year to the day after a lost long-distance hiker wrote about his waning hope in the margins of a map, a pair of lost day-hikers stumbled on his abandoned camp. There they found matches that allowed them to lite a signal fire leading to their rescue. Amazing. This all happened on the Pacific Crest Trail, which my mom has always wanted to hike. Mom. Don't do it!
