MT. ST. HELENS, WA (KPTV) -
An injured Texas woman decided to pay for a private helicopter to get her, and her daughter, off Mt. St. Helens on Wednesday morning.

Nancy Allen contacted the Skamania County Sheriff's Office at about 8 p.m. on Tuesday.

She told deputies that she and her 18-year-old daughter had climbed to the top of Mt. St. Helens and lost the trail on the way back down the mountain, deputies said.

Wow, what a way to waste rescuers time! I hope they charge her for coming out since she sent them away after she called them. That is just stupid if you ask me.

Sounds like someone with more money than brains to me.

So she didn't like the litter ride.

Charge her. Obviously, she won't care, she has the money to burn and is willing to do so.

I agree. No way she should get off without a bill for this one.

I cannot in good conscience make that judgment. I wasn't there. I don't know the whole story, only what I read and that knowledge is cursory at best.
