The friends of Meredith Emerson (the GA hiker who was brutally murdered on New Years Day 2008) have started a non profit organization called Right To Hike. They are trying to provide GPS devices for hikers to rent while they are in the woods. If they get lost or worse they can push a panic button and help will be sent. My oldest son is a part of this group.
