Tyler Mayo was hiking in Pisgah National Forest when he stepped on a “nail trap,” where two 2-inch nails pierced his left heel. He found two pieces of plywood on which someone had hammered about 12 nails each, and left it in a rut in the road with the points facing up and covered with leaves. See photos in The Citizen-Times article. Nasty looking trap.

daveg, I'm not glad the man was injured, but am glad the dogs didn't step on the nails - they have no protection against spikes. I've never understood the mentality of sabotage, especially when it's blamed on someone else.

I read a clothing description of simply a tank top and tights. Led me to wonder if incipient hypothermia led to her getting unstable and falling? Cold is a very stealthy predator and this time of year that mountain is cold (the summit, of course, below zero a lot of the time).
