A Canadian woman was rescued over the weekend after she got lost in the Colorado mountains for four days as part of a guided spiritual “quest,” according to a local sheriff’s department, which said that participants had been encouraged to fast and discouraged from bringing cellphones.

The woman, Gina Chase, 53, of Victoria, British Columbia, was camping near the San Miguel Mountains of Colorado with 10 others through the Animas Valley Institute, an organization based in Durango, Colo., that emphasizes the spiritual value of being alone in nature, the San Miguel County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post. Around 11 a.m. on Aug. 14, Ms. Chase embarked on a “solo journey” near Lone Cone Peak but was reported missing around 2 p.m. the next day after she did not return to camp, the sheriff’s office said.

Stupid things Andrew Coyne says

Among the roster of speakers at this year’s Democratic National Convention are several representatives of a demographic group not traditionally considered part of the Democratic coalition: Republicans.

They include former Congressman Adam Kinzinger, former Lieutenant-Governor of Georgia Geoff Duncan, and former White House officials Stephanie Grisham and Olivia Troye. But the list of prominent conservatives and Republicans to have endorsed Democratic nominee Kamala Harris is a lot longer.

Incurable TDS.
