Not sure why the link wouldn't click through...

Great work, PP. It’s really pretty down there, which helps with understanding why they chose that particular trail, as well as crazy steep to get out in any direction. [/quote]

Thanks, it's given me a much better understanding of what they were actually facing.
Thanks for the suggestion.

One additional note...

I just searched where a hiker would park if they wanted to hike through Devil's Gulch, and the National Park Service listed their Scott Road location in Mariposa as the site that hikers should park their cars & sign in (so the rangers know if you don't return from your hike).

Admittedly, I don't know if they parked their car there OR because they were locals, they may have known a secret out of the way spot to park?
Some of you may know the answer to that?

But if... again *IF* they did park at the Scott Road check in site, the photo below would give an estimate of how far they would have been to their truck.

* Context: looking at this map in the number of miles "as the crow flies" means absolutely nothing in this situation -- having to navigate all of those dangerous switchbacks, means that the car may as well have been 20 miles away. 😕

* DG = Devil's Gulch (where the bodies were found).

I have no idea why you are spending time typing this.

Start here, stop (wrongly) doing Google Earth because you are just making shit up:  https://www.strangeoutdoors.com/mysterious-stories-blog/tag/gerrish+family+deaths+in+sierra+national+forest[/quote]
