[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Not sure it has been mentioned here, but on websleuths a couple of posters have questioned whether [b]they may have been confused about the destination given that there are two nearby trails with “Hites Cove” in the name. One is called Hites Cove trail and the other Hites Cove Road trail. The one they weren’t on is a flat, pleasant walk popular in the spring for wildflower viewing.[/b] It seems unlikely given that the husband had researched the hike ahead of time and both trails were near their house; in addition they would have quickly realized their error, and probably wouldn’t have decided to change their plans at that point. I wanted to throw this out for the sake of theory completeness though, since the other trail would have made more sense for a hike with a baby and dog.[/quote]

Most plausible.

Pp again. Here's a map showing what the first pp stated in bold. Notice the parked car bottom left at Hites Cove Rd. That is the easier trail pp describes, yet family was found on the harsh trail on right. It's very possible they meant to follow the leisurely trail. It seems illogical that investigators wouldn't consider they might have mistaken their ntended trail.

I may be WRONG, but somewhere (maybe pages ago or a linked update) it was stated that forensics determined they traveled 8.5 miles. Can anyone confirm? If so, and based on map above, they parked and started to the left of parked car on Hites Cove Road turned Hites Cove Trail and followed the arrows, looped around river to Salvage-Lundy switchback [b]incline[/b] where they were found 1.5 miles from parked car. If they started to the right of parked car on Hites Cove Road turned Hites Cove Trail to Savage-Lundy [b]decline[/b] where they were found, that’s ~2.5 or 3 miles traveled right? [/quote]
