This is an odd question, but I'm somewhat stumped.
Yesterday, while climbing Liberty and Flume, there were at least two rescue copters in the air and apparently searching Franconia Ridge.
When I returned back to Liberty, a helicopter was about 20 yards off the summit, maybe 40 yards away.
What is the appropiate response?
I figure waving might indicate that I was in need of rescue, so I just backed off the summit a bit and watched as they blasted a cloud of snow off the trees, took off and circled back.
The second time they hovered over the summit for a bit and seemed to be looking at this fool on the summit a bit longer.
My Jedi mind-control skills being weak, was there any signal I could have made that would clearly indicate that I wasn't the droid they were looking for?
Additionally, does anyone have any further information on this effort? I had hoped this was a training exercise, but a friend suggested that it was not.
