adventurer???
What kind of adventurer needs someone else to save his/her ass all the time?
In days gone by, the true adventurers relied on their own resourcefulness due to the lack of anyone else being around. There was no camp or established station enroute. They made it up because they had to. This is the 100th year of aviation, right??
With all we have established, this "aviator" just did not plan well enough with all the resources available.....knowing that he would not be sold fuel at that sight.
