[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't care if they accidentally went on the wrong trail. It was cruel and reckless to take a baby and dog on this trek. Period. They aren't idiots; he's a tech millionaire and she [b]wasn't some dumb foreign babe in the woods[/b], she was born in the U.S. and graduated from Berkeley. So spare me they didn't know how hot it was going to be. You do not take a baby and dog on a 85 or 95 or 110 degree hike. Clearly [b]mentally ill[/b] thrill seekers.[/quote]

If they were responsible for what happened (I don't know enough about the case), the worst possible consequence has already happened. How does posting stuff like this help? Why not focus on reminding people about the importance of preventing heatstroke and making safe choices when outdoors?

No one is suggesting the first bolded claim, and it's weird that you come up with that specific description. Also, if the second bolded statement is true, we may not be able to blame them for what happened, depending on the circumstances. [/quote]

It is weird they brought that up! I am an average hiker. I do some hard trails but do easy trails every weekend. Where I live we do 80s and 90s hikes often, especially last year we would go to shaded trails often with kids. This trail was shaded except for the last part. I think with the day's progression the sudden spike in temp and full sun coupled with inexperience baby wearing in high temps hurt them. I still think it was something more toxic but I remember the first time being out in 90s temps baby wearing around town and as if a switch went off, baby and I got incredibly hot. I went into a hotel lobby to cool us down after barely getting out for the day. [/quote]

The trail was not shaded at all. All the trees were destroyed by the wildfires a couple years ago.[/quote]
