I regret to inform you that Shane Krogen, founder of the High Sierra trail crew, has died in an accidental fall from a helicopter while participating in a marijuana grove cleanup.
an article in Huffington Post announced it. i would link it here if i were not posting from my phone.
Shane was a lifelong outdoorsman and contributed greatly to everyone's enjoyment of the Sierra with tireless efforts to keep trails maintained. he will be missed. i hope that the trail crew will find an appropriate spot to place a memorial in his honor so we can all hike out to pay our respects.

Re: Shane Krogen
I'm deeply saddened to hear this news. As it has already been said in other threads, what a tragic year of loss for the Sierra Nevada Community..
I met Shane in the late 90's, and have exchanged several emails with him over the years. He was a warm and caring individual, and he will be sorely missed. My thoughts are with his family and friends during this difficult time.
