This Week’s Recap of Recreation Incidents

Every year as the weather starts to turn from non-stop gray to blue skies filled with sun we start to see an increase in injuries and deaths related to outdoor recreation.  The last week has been particularly busy for rescue units and recovery operations in Oregon.  Here is a quick recap of the week’s unfortunate events that will hopefully act as a reminder to all to be safe when having fun out there.
