anyway it was really hot and the trail was difficult, one she has done before, she just collapsed from heat exhaustion...
She admitted she didn't hydrate enough. One helicopter had to come and rescue crew to hike in 45 minutes, place her and one guy in the basket then fly over to another heliport where another chopper took her to the hospital.
She had 4 bags of IV goodies was evaluated and released.
She is doing fine today and enjoying the day off with her crew.
Thanks for asking
