Nuclear Electrician’s Mate Second Class Jeremiah Adams died on hike

| May 14, 2018

The Navy Times reports that Bremerton-based Nuclear Electrician’s Mate Second Class Jeremiah Adams’ body was found on the Gray Wolf Trail in the Olympics;

Authorities believe Adams was following a primitive trail when he fell over the edge.

Clallam County Chief Criminal Deputy Brian King said Adams’ body was found 300 feet (91 meters) below the trail in a ravine after a group of hikers reported glimpsing something that looked like clothing on Saturday.

He had only traveled about six miles before he had the accident. Officials don’t believe anything nefarious caused the tragedy.

Fair winds and following seas, EM2 Adams.

This is too bad. He’s from the southwest suburbs of Chicago. Where he went, on a primitive trail, is not a good idea to approach alone.

The real world is a very dangerous place that will eat you alive if you aren’t careful.

Sad. Rest in Peace, EM2 Adams.

So sad, I remember being about the same age and doing absolutely crazy shit, convinced that nothing bad could possibly happen to me. RIP my brother of the ‘pin.

When I got to Gelnhausen, “Be careful of the trains” was one of the first things I remember hearing, even before any official safety briefing. “Trains? No big deal, just don’t be an idiot,” I thought. The next day, was taken to the platform. “Just stand here, close your eyes.” Of course, never knew a thing till that fucker blew by. One of the draws of the military is to see places that we might otherwise never have a chance to. Unfortunately, the real world is not especially forgiving. I did camp alone one night in Olympic National Park. One night. Was Jim Beamed in a hotel in Hoodsport the next day. Spooky place.
Prayers to this Sailor’s family.

That is far too young for such a tragic outcome.

Way too young.

At least they found his body. There a many dozens of people that disappear in our national parks every year and their bodies are never found. There is an author who has written several books about many of those cases.
