Trapped by high water for 5 weeks
This is a rescue story I can relate to – a woman crosses the Gila River in New Mexico, it rains, and she is unable to get back across, turning a two-week trip into a 5-week wait-a-thon. The Gila runs in a fairly tight canyon in many places – I can imagine it’s possible to get pinned in. Still, I’d like to know more about why she didn’t search for an alternate route out.
