A boulder pinned a hiker for seven hours on a steep Inyo County hillside,
California rescuers reported.
The rock, estimated to weigh from 6,000 to 10,000 pounds, trapped the
hiker’s left leg, leaving him in “great pain,” on Tuesday, Dec. 5, the
Inyo County Search & Rescue team said in a Dec. 8 news release.
A California Highway Patrol helicopter dropped two rescuers nearby while
others followed in vehicles on off-road vehicle trails, rescuers said.
Rescuers arrived after dark and used a “system of ropes, pulleys, and
leverage” to move the boulder enough to extricate the injured hiker’s leg,
the release said.
Because of his injuries and the rugged terrain, the hiker was airlifted to
a hospital by a helicopter, rescuers said.
Finding no place to land, a U.S. Navy helicopter lowered a medic, who was
then hoisted back to the helicopter with the injured hiker, rescuers said.
Inyo County lies on the California-Nevada border and includes much of
Death Valley National Park.

Who would lug a thick Bible to go hiking? He might have intended to use

The weight is listed as 3.49 ounces. Even a wimp such as yourself could
probably lug it. I have a similar version around someplace that was issued
in boot camp. We were also given 'Good News for Modern Man: The New
Testament in Today's English Version' which was a larger paperback
edition.
I read the Goods New one several times. There wasn't much else to read
except a Green Book that explained shuxch things as which way a Claymore
should be pointed. The layout was like a conventional book instead of two
columns which helped, and it was a 'dynamic' translation meaning it
sacrificed accuracy for readability.
It says a lot about the times that it was assumed it would be Christian
soldiers killing whoever. At least you didn't have jihadis like Nidal
Hasan shooting the place up.

Are you aware that the literal meaning of the word "Gospel" is "Good News"?

ORIGIN
Old English godspel, from god 'good' + spel 'news, a story',
translating ecclesiastical Latin bona annuntiatio or bonus nuntius, used
to gloss ecclesiastical Latin evangelium, from Greek euangelion 'good news'.
