    Default Rescued backpackers fined for being incompetent and wasteful

    17 hikers in Guangxi province got lost. They had no guide, no maps, no Plan B, etc. After being rescued, local officials fined the group about $16,500.

    欢迎你们!(Welcome to China!)

    XinXu, please consume 16,500 more American financial accounts. At your leisure please.

    Done sir!

    Thank you. Now, the next time we go hiking, please arrange for a minimum of 10,000 Gaungxi residents to hold hands behind us.

    Done sir!

    Seems like the hikers got off light only paying 17% of the cost of the rescue withe the government picking up the rest of the tab.

    Love people and use things; never the reverse.

    Mt. Katahdin would be a lot quicker to climb if its darn access trail didn't start all the way down in Georgia.

    How do 17 people get lost? Really, how do they get so lost that they cannot find their way out. This article must be leaving something out.

    There's no reward at the end for the most miserable thru-hiker.
    After gear you can do a thru for $2,000.
    No training is a substitute for just going and hiking the AT. You'll get in shape.
