Summary: At first glance, it looked like a hiker on the trail ahead was “taking a nap,” said Renee Casterline, who was 60 miles from completing the 165-mile Tahoe Rim Trail last week. “I was coming downhill, saw something in the trail 30 or 40 feet ahead,” Casterline said. In refracted light, a mix of sun and shade, it was difficult at first to make out the object. “At 25 feet, I saw legs across the trail,” Casterline said.
