I left approx 3:30
Friends said around 5pm there were multiple trips and a stretcher hanging from the helo.
Climber?
Hope all is going to be okay.

bolt choppers or helicopters?
hopefully it's James,
maybe he got hit by a lightening bolt while chopping,
wishful thinking,
probably just some freak that ate a bad hot dog at the lodge,

I thought that once a hiker leaves a trail they became a rock climber?

Hiker falls.
Hiker gets hurt,
Yosar pussies don't know how to hump trails anymore. They just know how to dial up the helicopter. No problem, there's plenty of money to go around these days and gas is cheap.
In the old days Yosar guys were hard as Superman's kneecaps. Now just soft radio packers...

I blame that old TV commercial
"I've fallen and I can't get up!"

Survival,
You left out the major idiom of the whole syntax. Need any hints? (It isn't brilliant.)

Are the medals and such still limited to "permanent" NPS employees these days, or have they started to include seasonal/temporary "help?"

I guess that explains my $41,500 bill for 2 hours of flight time out of the ditch last year. No money in that racket, no siree.

From what I could tell is that there was at least one extraction/casualty transfered from the helicopter to an emergency vehicle. But then the helicopter just kept making trips back to the lower yose falls area, hovering for ~ 5mins at a time. Seems like they were still looking for someone?
