[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cannot look away from this thread. At first I was totally on the MS train but if they indeed tried to hike the entire 8 mile loop it was surely heat related. Rule of thumb is a mile per hour. That would have had them hiking for at least 7 hours. Too long. Too hot. The poor baby and dog. [/quote] +1. If the reports are right, that they started around 8am and hiked the full 8-mile loop, there's no way heat wasn't a factor. There may have been other contributors - illness from toxic algae slowing them down, minor injury on the trail - but I have to believe it was ultimately the heat. What I don't know (and we may never know) is what got them into that situation in the first place. Unaware of the lack of trees on that final stretch since the fires? Set out on the wrong trail? Just plain overconfidence and poor decision? That may never be clear.[/quote]
