My story is not so drama cool bit it proves the point you can kick ass in a man's. job.In 1975 Ii saw an ad in a VA. newspaper looking for a mountain guide to work at a dude ranch taking riders into trails up the Mt.s,camping out,show them the sights and bringing them home safe,10 at at a time. You never know what kind of yahoo's ya gona get!!! I could tell you stories...omg ! there's always one that what's to show up as Roy Roger's!
Great story ! I've heard about this incident.People seeing the crew after their deaths has always unnerved me. These sightings were made by trained crew for the most part. Gives me the willies !!
