Vagabond's best friend

Speaking of health insurance, a distant Tribune reader suggests a one-time $500 policy that could keep you desert rats from becoming Cathartes aura bait.
Minnesotan Nash Pherson recommends back-country wanderers buy a GPS with a pe
rsonal locator beacon. "These emergency devices trigger search and rescue via a satellite that allows rescuers to home in on your location.""As an experienced search and rescue professional with the Civil Air Patrol, I cannot emphasize enough how easy this makes the job of a rescuer."If $500 sounds expensive, think of the Garners, the Kearns couple who went missing in southern Utah's winter wonderland for 12 days. Ever try to find moss on a tree in the West Desert?
