It's baffling to me how Jesse Hoover managed to slip through the cracks after being denied the climb up Mount Katahdin. You'd think that after the rangers turned her away someone might have checked up on her wellbeing, especially given her lack of preparation and gear. The fact that she decided to head into the 100-Mile Wilderness alone is truly concerning. I understand the desire to go on such an epic journey, but it makes me wonder if there were any warnings given to her about the dangers ahead? Seems like there were so many red flags that day. Even if they couldn't stop her, did they offer her any resources or maybe suggest alternative plans? You have to wonder about the level of interaction and if anything could have been done to alter her trajectory. Anyone know if it's standard practice for park rangers to try to counsel hikers who seem ill-prepared? I feel like this part of the story gets overlooked often.
