Park service pretty regularly has to rescue (or search for the bodies of) Europeans who go “oh, a trip to the desert? I shall bring sandwiches and a few beers, should just be a simple stroll to the next town…”

I worked for a co-op ambulance service near Joshua Tree NP and regularly hauled-out incautious folks, both clueless tourists, and military guys with delusions of immortality. We always brought-em out alive, at least on my shifts -- I never lost any. Not even Europeans.
