As a member of the AT hikers’ family, I would never say that a fellow hiker deserves what he/she gets. We have to be here for each other. Granted Dinwiddie made some mistakes, but haven’t we all use poor judgement at one time or another? I’m just thankful that he is here to tell about it and maybe we can learn from his mistakes. Godspeed to you Dinwiddie and get back out there as soon as possible. We’re all with you!
