Geraldine Largay


I've been following the story of Geraldine Largay for the last two years.  Geraldine disappeared from the trail in July 2013 in the Saddleback Mountains just after the Poplar Lean-to.  I went through this area August 6 and 7, 2008, and it was one of the toughest days on the trail.  The terrain is rugged and dangerous.  It was raining, cold, and very windy when I crossed Saddleback Mountain.  One of my greatest fears was stepping off the trail, and not finding my way back on again.  I just read the sad news that Geraldine's body was finally discovered.
