Man survives 5 days in lava field--Hook 'em, Horns!!

Edited on Sun Jul-24-05 09:10 AM by jobycom

Check out the picture on this link. Longhorns will be amused.

WAIMEA, Hawaii (AP) -- A hiker lost for five days in a lava field near a volcano says he survived by drinking water he squeezed from moss in a mostly barren landscape.

Gilbert Dewey Gaedcke III, 41, was rescued Friday afternoon after a teenager on a helicopter tour spotted him stumbling across the rocky lava, trying to attract attention with a mirror from his camera.

The experienced hiker from Austin, Texas, said he saw no water, but there were pockets of jungle-like vegetation sprinkled throughout the old lava flow.

1. I think you forgot to post your link.

And I've seen enough of that damned "hook 'em" thing to last a lifetime.

Signed,

Your friendly neighborhood liberal Aggie.

Now, come to brunch this morning. Trudy's north, 10am.

4. Yeah, it might be time for a DU muster.

But it might be hard to get all the lurking 2-pers to come out.

6. Only a teasip would be stupid enough to go hiking across a lava field to

get a look at an active volcano. He was a very lucky teasip. Glad he made it.

7. Alright

What does that mean? :-) I honestly never heard that expression until you used it on another thread. I had a friend from Mississippi who went to, like, one semester at A&M, and every time I mention UT he says "You mean TU?" It took forever for me to realize that was an insult, and he still has never explained it to me. Now I got that whole "teasip" thing to assimilate...

Argh, these school things are hard to keep up with!

He'd have done better if he were a TTechie, I guess. He could have left a trail of tortillas...
