Jack Murphy, a 22 year-old NOLS student from Boston, was killed this past Tuesday by a lightning strike while camping at Enos Lake in the Absaroka Range in the Bridger-Teton National Forest. The group were all at camp in the lightning position when Murphy was struck. Another student was also injured, seriously enough to be choppered from the Jackson hospital to the Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls.
