Tara LaRosa: 'Before I left, Monte was joking about an Evan Tanner situation happening to me'

And when she was stuck in snow and sub-freezing temperatures in Pennsylvania's Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail with dehydration and hypothermia, the "joke" almost became a tragic reality (via MMA Die Hards):
"I did not know what day it was, or where I was. I don’t really know what I was saying, but I knew my name and how old I was. I kept going to sleep on them, and then they would yell at me to wake me up. I am not sure how I made it out there, but I have an idea. Somebody was with me and got me through, my guardian angel."
Women's top ranked fighter, Tara LaRosa, attempted a 70-mile "head-clearing excursion" in the snow and freezing cold this past weekend, only to see the weather fall to far worse conditions than she previously anticipated. That, coupled with an equipment failure, left her stranded and alone before a last-ditch effort to send a text message miraculously made it through to her mother, who alerted authorities that eventually traced her location and managed to rescue her.

Man I know three things that are certain. Dont mess with the IRS, Louisville child support division or mother nature
Why do ppl keep doing this type of shit
I like bacon...and Rashad Evans is a pussy..It does NOT matter who wins the Brock vs Cain fight because they are simply baby sitting the belt for Junior.

I have done part of that trail in the summertime.
Couldn’t imagine doing it in a foot+ of snow. That is just piss-poor planning. they were talking about this lake-effect snow for the last week and a half.

A week and a half?
She said they were only calling for flurries, and then she got blindsided by a blizzard.

I am sitting under 12 inches of snow, not in the mountains, about 2 hours away from the trail.
I knew about this storm 8 or 9 days ago, as a possibility. While I don’t believe all weather reports, it was all but guaranteed to dump at least 6 inches on me, based upon the weather reports from Thursday of last week. While not all lake effect snows hit that far south of me, this one was ugly and I specifically remember watching the weather on Friday and Saturday saying that the Laurel Highlands would get pounded.
I am just glad she is OK, but Somerset is no place to hike in December unless REALLY experienced.

70 mile hike? thats like 130 kms!
who hikes that far period, let alone in the bloody winter, and solo? and as a head clearing experience? talk about needing psychiatric help.

here in buttfuck nowhere , there is no cell phone service, let alone in the mountain ranges..
you have to have a gps tracker and most peeps don’t have that..she would have been a goner if she did that here..glad she made it. but it was a dumb plan to do what she did..
She brought a GPS...
Apparently it had SOS service that ended up not doing fuck all. She also had 20 lbs of food and water. And she didnt get cell phone service, but her text managed to make it through somehow.

thanks..
did not read the whole extended part of the story..thus i suppose that was the equipment failure part…lucky she got her text message through..i well never have that type of adventure in me..going out in the back country in winter is just not interesting unless you are going to ski or board some safe lines..skidoo’s are a welcome thing to have with you too..lol
This should learn her
She should know her place as a woman, and stick to being a slut at the bar. Women like this are dangerous and are a threat to womens path of become sexually liberated. Which means less cum dumpsters fro me.
Wow. I laughed...and I apologize for being a scum bag.
