Parking Lot Drowning....

My mom has partially experienced this. As did the guide of the boat that we rescued at Zoom Flume earlier in the season. Pulmonary Edema. Introduce water into the lungs (or rapid change in altitude) and the lungs start filling with fluid as a defense mechanism, and a bad one at that. Luckily with a big rescue of 7 guesties anda guide comes a couple cases of liquor and beer for saving his life. He was on oxygen for over a week and hacking up some of the nasty. Nasty.

Either way Salida is fun. Ill be back there on Weds.
