I heard about this on the news. What a tragic story. One slipped in, the other tried to help and slipped on the same rock. Both died.

I can't even imagine it, but it goes to show two things to me:

You can never let your guard down when temping nature. Nature ALWAYS wins.
You should treat each day with a little excitement and wonder. Neither of these poor people had any idea that anything was in cards as they drove around looking at the scenery... Things can change in a moment.

Yikes...
