Wouldn't It Be A Great Idea...

...if trails in the wilderness were marked in such a way that a person hiking could use a trail marker as a reference point when calling for emergency help? Especially if those trail markers were input into the local 911 calling system, so that emergency workers would know exactly where to go to help the injured person?

A Boy Scout had such an idea, and made it happen in Guilford County, North Carolina.

Glad to see our young people thinking.But I need to point out that it is called the wilderness for a reason.The fact that there is uncertainty in these places is what attracts us,without it we may as well stay home and watch on TV.That unknown that danger bis called adventure!
